With roots dating back to 1787, Franklin & Marshall College is an academically-rigorous liberal arts college located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The school aims to grow intellectual leaders who are well-rounded, highly curious and can connect theory with real-world practice. With a commitment to intensive, collaborative, hands-on learning opportunities, Franklin & Marshall believes students should be encouraged to question and to seek their own answers. Franklin & Marshall’s development program has been growing over the past ten years with substantial capital campaign-supported improvements including a new science center and new and redesigned residential facilities. The development program is also laying the groundwork to double its current annual fundraising numbers. In 2018, Franklin & Marshall will enter the public phase of the largest comprehensive campaign in the school’s history, a $200 million effort.
