The Michigan Difference Campaign raised $3,115,644,057 for the university to greatly increase student financial aid, create new student programs, hire and retain outstanding faculty, support groundbreaking research, and provide new buildings for health care, teaching, arts and entertainment, and more.
The sum is believed to be the largest amount ever raised by a public university, and substantially exceeds the goal of $2.5 billion announced in 2004.
The campaign celebration was emceed by NBC Sports anchor and U-M alum Andrea Joyce and CBS Early Show anchor Harry Smith (Central College in Iowa).
I went to Hill Auditorium on Friday along with Newsfeed crew members Danielle and Sasha to view the campaign celebration.
