Rivista - Summer / Fall 2011
Your support, your passion... our future together
by Gabriella Chiappini Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies Bologna Center

This Summer/Fall issue of Rivista offers all of us the opportunity to thank you for your support of the Center. Philanthropy represents 25 percent of our budget and last fiscal year (July 1, 2010 - June 30, 2011) it indeed made a difference in the life of the Center!

Your support has enabled us to successfully celebrate the completion of the fundraising campaign launched in 2005 to renovate and enlarge our Via Belmeloro 11 facilities. View our new building video short, an audio visual tribute to those who made this accomplishment possible.

Not only did we meet the $6 million goal, but we exceeded it thanks to the many classes who chose the building campaign as their class project. The truly unique aspect of the whole building fundraising campaign is that 90 percent of its supporters are Bologna alumni. A pattern that applies every year to our overall donor pool!

As we look forward to a new academic year, we hope you will continue to direct your generosity to support our students and our program, including our newly established Bologna Institute for Policy Research (BIPR).

Our aim is to continue offering a top quality academic and intellectual environment, always up to speed with the fast changing international scenario. Philanthropy and community building are key to our success. By making a donation every year, no matter what size, you will make it possible to perpetuate and improve the Bologna experience. By becoming an active member of our alumni community you will be able to share your expertise, benefit from networking with our 6,500 alumni around the world, and participate actively in the development of the Center.

Your support, your passion, and your invaluable collaboration have helped the Center grow steadily over time and have put it on the right track to celebrate a successful 60th anniversary in 2015.

Grazie mille…

Gabriella Chiappini is director of Development at the SAIS Bologna Center.
