A RENAISSANCE
ALREADY UNDERWAY
You can see the Renaissance in the connections our students make. They are stripping away barriers, refusing to accept the world’s constraints on their ideals. Our students get to know the world’s rich variety.
Our graduates are agents of change, true Renaissance people. From the moment they arrive at Bradley, they are engaged scholars who collaborate in faculty research, see the world as their classroom, and realize their responsibilities in a global community. Employers nationwide say Bradley’s graduates are better able to begin productive work than those of other universities. They know how to innovate and function in the business world.
Where are we today? Without new facilities, the University cannot grow in scope or in the excellence of its programs. Giving students the kind of highly personal, collaborative experience we do is resource-intensive. Bradley must have all the facilities today’s well-informed students expect. Bradley also must have the financial muscle to support academic excellence in terms of scholarships, professorships, program development, and the day-to-day operations of the University.
To realize the Bradley vision, we are launching a Campaign for a Bradley Renaissance that will furnish the University with the campus it needs, not only to maintain its strength, but to realize its potential.
Our goals include:
- Renovation and expansion of Westlake Hall, where tomorrow’s educators and health care professionals prepare to succeed in a technologically accelerated world More>
- An Engineering and Business Convergence Center that transforms the culture of learning in the College of Engineering and Technology and the Foster College of Business Administration More>
- An Alumni Center that offers a place to meet, socialize and gather together for students, prospective students, and alumni More>
- The Markin Family Student Recreation Center that enables more students to participate in recreation and creates the campus environment necessary to attract top students More>

- A Men’s Basketball Practice Facility that will house in one building all the facilities that our players need to excel More>
- A commitment to Academic Excellence that uses both restricted and unrestricted gifts to help revitalize the campus, and meets the daily operational needs of the University More>
