The Board of Trustees and the college administration have identified and documented the campaign's objectives; some long-standing, others are newly designated priorities dictated by continuing advancements in information technology and the related competencies required for success in engineering, the sciences, and those professional fields long associated with Manhattan and its graduates.

The objectives of the Sesquicentennial Campaign, were shaped by a comprehensive assessment, involving the entire College community, of the investments in people and facilities that Manhattan must make to ensure a strong and vibrant future. Success will depend upon the full participation of the College’s extended family of alumni, parents and friends. We will also look to selected corporations, foundations and all those who share Manhattan’s Lasallian values and support our educational mission.
