Donations provide the majority of funding for the scholarships and academic support, for groundbreaking research, for campus facility up- grades and for faculty recruitment and retention. While hitting the $1 billion milestone was celebrated on April 10, the Charting Our Course campaign off cially closed June 30. Campus-wide celebrations open to the public are planned for September. Top scholars spread their wings From the comforts of their cozy nests in Louisville, students and alumni are headed to such lofty locales as Brazil, England, Germany, the Netherlands and South Korea. They will pursue studies ranging from cognitive and brain sciences at the University of Cambridge to bioengineering studies at the European Space Agency.
