Launch AU Campaign
Launch Fund
The mission of Anderson University is to educate for a life of faith and service in the church and society. This mission is more important today than ever before.
The Launch Fund will help resource several initiatives in our vision for 2040, outlined in our new strategic plan named Launch 2040. The Launch Fund will focus on people. The people who learn at AU, work at AU, and teach at AU.
The work to prepare for the future is underway
Moved by the significance of this responsibility, university leaders prayerfully gathered for an exercise in self-understanding, critique, and dreaming in the fall of 2022. As we corporately discussed the future, two piercing questions captured our imaginations.
Future Ravens born on this very day will arrive on campus in 2040. Will we be ready? What must we do today to ensure this university is prepared to answer our mission for these young souls?
And with this, the Launch 2040 strategic plan was born.
