The Numbers
Dear Hollins Community:
As I embark on my third year as Vice President for Institutional Advancement, I am reminded daily of the privilege it is to witness your extraordinary generosity—both in time and resources—shaping Hollins and securing its future. Over the past year, President Hinton and our team have traveled across the country, engaging with supporters and leaders who share a passion for Hollins’ mission. This report reflects the many miles traveled and countless hours spent in meaningful conversations. We are deeply grateful for the time, insights, and encouragement you have shared with us. It’s been a joy to learn more about what Hollins means to you.
As we continue advancing the Transforming Learning, Transforming Lives: The Levavi Oculos Strategic Plan and identifying the resources to bring it to life, your unwavering support is invaluable. We look forward to connecting with you as we continue our travels, sharing the good news about Hollins. Together, we aim to secure funding for key initiatives, including the West Hall renovation, the HOPE Scholarship, academic renewal, wellness initiatives, and for the Hollins Fund. Thanks to your generosity and investment in Hollins’ future, we have seen increased financial support for capital projects, the endowment, and the Hollins Fund. Notably, contributions from alumnae/i and parents have risen—a powerful testament to your shared commitment to our mission and the future of women’s education.
In this post you will find highlights that focus on the financial gifts we have received and, more importantly, the countless hours you have devoted to Hollins over the past year. Your time, talent, and expertise are vital to our progress. These intangible contributions—your perspective, advocacy, and engagement—make a profound difference and are deeply appreciated.
We celebrate your generosity and hope it inspires others to join you in supporting Hollins. Together, we are creating a more vibrant and inclusive environment for our students, faculty, staff, alumnae/i, and friends. Your commitment sustains Hollins’ legacy, ensuring opportunities and access for generations to come.
Thank you for your unwavering dedication. I look forward to the exciting accomplishments we will share in the year ahead, made possible by your steadfast support.
Sincerely,
Anita Branch-Brown, Vice President for Institutional Advancement
