The Penn State Division of Development and Alumni Relations released its fundraising numbers for the previous fiscal year on Monday, revealing that more than $208 million was donated by “alumni and friends” of Penn State.
The gift was the second highest total in the university’s history, according to a release on Penn State Live.
“I think if we’ve had any questions about the kind of passion that Penn Staters feel about their university it’s clearly answered in they way they continue to support Penn State in some of its most challenging times here,” said Rodney Kirsch, senior vice president for development and alumni relations.
