Hollins University, a small liberal arts school for women in Roanoke, is getting a $75 million gift from an anonymous alumna believed to set a modern record for a women's college.
President Mary Dana Hinton emphasized the importance of women's colleges, stating, 'Our missions are more important than ever' and highlighting the stability this donation brings to continue the institution's mission.
This donation is seen as an 'important statement about women's colleges as a whole,' contributing significantly to the future of such institutions and emphasizing their ongoing relevance in higher education.
While the exact ranking of this donation in philanthropic records is challenging due to inflation and hidden donations, this $75 million gift marks a substantial contribution to a school with about 800 students and a pre-donation endowment of $219 million.
