“UMB has a rich history that includes a wonderful story of excellence and giving back to the greater community. Each school contributed to the success of the Catalyst Campaign. Setting specific goals and measuring these metrics was important to the steady progress and positive results of the campaign.
"In addition to the enthusiasm around the professional schools, UMB’s involvement in the West Baltimore community was an important factor that raised awareness and interest in the campaign for many donors.”
