Forward Ever: The Campaign for Milligan

Milligan Fund

Our most crucial need each and every year, the Milligan Fund addresses the need for affordability and access by providing funds for scholarships, faculty support, and student life.

New Program Development

For Milligan to continue to grow, funds must be secured for new academic majors, programs, and initiatives; such programs include an Engineering major, a Physician Assistant master’s degree, and the addition of Emmanuel Christian Seminary within the School of Bible and Ministry.

Science Building Renovations

To ensure Milligan’s competitiveness now and in the future, Milligan’s 40-year-old science building must be renovated and enhanced.

P.H. Welshimer Library Renovations

To maintain a vibrant university library, the building’s current infrastructure must be improved. Facility improvements are needed to increase accessibility and energy efficiency and to promote a healthier, environmentally sustainable building.

Endowment

Milligan’s endowment is an essential component to the future growth and stability of the university and must be increased.

Residence Hall Renovation and Expansion

To accommodate enrollment growth and to meet the changing needs of today’s students, additional residence halls must be constructed, and older residence halls must be enhanced.

Multipurpose Athletic, Academic, and Student Center

Additional space for intramurals, intercollegiate athletic practice and training, lab and classroom space for the university’s exercise science programs, as well as rehearsal and event space must be provided for future growth and expansion.

Track and Soccer Complex

A facility to house Milligan’s successful track program, which currently must practice and compete elsewhere, needs to be constructed.

Anglin Field Improvements

Milligan’s current athletic fields need to be enhanced to make them more fan-friendly and welcoming, as well as to increase competitiveness for our scholar athletes.

Campus Infrastructure and Expansion

Over the past 150 years, leaders with foresight have seen to it that Milligan’s campus has grown to meet the needs of our student body. Milligan’s next 150 years will require the same eye toward future growth as the Lord provides us with ways to expand the campus.

Emmanuel Christian Seminary

In order to better serve the church as we prepare the next generation of Christian leaders for ministry and the marketplace, Emmanuel Christian Seminary will be fully integrated into Milligan. This endeavor has associated legal, administrative, and infrastructure expenses.

Seeger Chapel Enhancements

Since 1967, Seeger Chapel has served Milligan University and the community as a worship and arts venue. In recent years, this iconic facility has seen significant improvements in the Mary B. Martin Auditorium. Additional enhancements are needed to improve the facility’s audio and visual capabilities, add and enhance rehearsal space, and improve the building’s infrastructure and accessibility.

Cross-Cultural and Experiential Spiritual Development Programs

Milligan students have been able to experience spiritual development through numerous programs such as missions trips; ministry-focused, off campus internships; and the university’s spiritual formation program that includes chapel services and convocations.

Additional funds will help bolster programs like Milligan’s Semester in Ministry, as well as enable more students to attend conferences, retreats, and seminars that will strengthen their readiness to serve in the church and the marketplace.
