Dr. Dondi Costin, Charleston Southern University President, is joining Jim Bush, Winkler Group President, to present The Power of a Capital Campaign to Transform a University: Charleston Southern University’s Case Study at the CCCU International Forum in Dallas on February 12 at 1:30.
The session, featured in the Financial Health and Resource Development track, will demonstrate how Charleston Southern is embracing a capital campaign to build a new arena and convocation center—and how the fundraising effort is transforming Charleston Southern into one of the leading Christian colleges in the country.
The CCCU Forum, attended by more than 1,000 leaders, is the largest gathering of Christian higher education professionals in the country. Participants attending the Charleston Southern/Winkler Group session will discern how a successful campaign could transform their university—from funding new facilities and programs to generating new energy, increased enrollment, and more alumni giving.
