University Advancement

Hodges University and the Department of University Advancement welcome this opportunity to invite your participation in preparing future generations of talented individuals for productive lives in leadership and service.

Thanks in large part to the generosity of our friends and alumni, Hodges University finds itself in a position of considerable strength and at the threshold of advancing to another level in our extraordinary growth. Enrollments are at record highs. Since our founding, the University has operated within a balanced budget. Successful strategic planning and our commitment to excellence have allowed the University to be recognized as one of the leading Universities in the Southern Region serving the adult learner as well as one of Florida’s best values.

Hodges University and its friends can take great pride in the successes we have achieved together. Yet the years ahead promise to be as keenly challenging for a small private university as any we have experienced. Pressures to expand our academic programs and offerings and to respond to progressive enrollment growth have continued to intensify.

We hope you will be able to join us in our commitment to serve today’s learner. The University would also welcome the opportunity to work with you to identify an appropriate naming opportunity to recognize your commitment. It would be a lasting tribute to have your name associated with our University as a permanent symbol of your commitment to this campaign.

Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to present our message and for considering such an important investment in our University's future.

Sincerely yours,
Phil Memoli
Vice President of University Advancement
