Something about the logo and the use of the word launch make me think this is actually a US Space Force recruiting event - which I honestly I would attend if I had any shot of going into space.

This is very good news. Maybe we (SFA) are fortunate and we raise another $30-$40 million. My personal hope is that we get enough funds to have a full fledged engineering program. Mechanical and Electrical.

I haven't had the chance to watch the full video yet. We caught parts of it at dinner. Did they give any directives for what this money is going to?
$8M from Bill Elliott is going to the now Micky Elliott College of Fine Arts. I would assume mostly to cover the huge building project that is now occurring.TallTexan said:

Do we know how much net unexpected money will be raised? SFA raises on average 5-10 million a year, without a capital campaign. If we're counting back to 2015, that could be as little as 20 million in new money from the campaign.nacluth said:$8M from Bill Elliott is going to the now Micky Elliott College of Fine Arts.

It said there were 7 other $1M+ gifts as well. The silent part of the capital campaign opened in September 2015. So SFA has raised $79M in 6 years. Goal is $21M in the next 2 years. My guess is most of the $79M has already been allocated to the college's budget.
As of October 13, 2021 we have raised over $79 million!

Hearing very positive comments about the status of the capital campaign. Expectations are that the $100 million goal can be achieved well ahead of the target time frame. I am hopeful that the momentum can be carried into the next campaign. Lots of people doing good work, with a lot yet to be done.
