Alumni giving has been increasing over the years.

The Vision and the Promise , the College’s major gifts campaign, has begun its fourth year. Since its start, the campaign has achieved several milestones, including the largest gift in the Optometric Center of New York’s history—$2 million in scholarship support from Trustee Dr. William C. Folsom, Jr.—and an outstanding level of support from faculty and staff that stands above comparable institutions. This year the campaign has grown to include even more opportunities for significant contributions. With the completion of many newly renovated facilities at the College, including the Center for Student Life and Learning, essential parts of the College can now be named.
