IEM has been fortunate to have had the resources and the support that have made it possible to recruit, train and produce leaders in our society. As beneficiaries of that support, it is now our turn to ensure that IEM continues to produce the same caliber of leaders that are needed in academia, government and industry alike. To benefit the next five generations, we launched a $20 million campaign in December 2014 and have made good progress toward that goal. From $2.4 million in Fall 2013, our endowments (including deferred gifts) have risen to $8 million in 2020. IEM must invest in areas that help attract the highest quality students and faculty. We believe a $20 million endowment will help IEM invest in areas that will help achieve the top 20 ranking.
