好消息！威廉瑪麗學(xué)院獲得史上最大金額捐款

近日，這所承載著深厚歷史底蘊(yùn)的學(xué)院迎來(lái)了一則振奮人心的消息：學(xué)院榮幸地獲得了1億美元的慷慨捐贈(zèng)，這是其331年歷史中最大的一筆單筆捐贈(zèng)，將專項(xiàng)用于強(qiáng)化其海洋科學(xué)這一優(yōu)勢(shì)學(xué)科的建設(shè)。

此次巨額捐贈(zèng)源自弗吉尼亞州慈善家Jane Batten女士。盡管Jane本人并非威廉瑪麗校友，但她已故的丈夫Frank Batten曾在上世紀(jì)90年代擔(dān)任學(xué)院的訪問(wèn)者委員會(huì)成員，并長(zhǎng)期致力于推動(dòng)學(xué)院的科研、教育及環(huán)境保護(hù)事業(yè)。

為表彰Batten家族的慷慨解囊，海洋科學(xué)學(xué)院將正式更名為巴頓海岸與海洋科學(xué)學(xué)院(Batten School of Coastal & Marine Sciences)。

據(jù)悉，巴頓學(xué)院目前設(shè)有三個(gè)研究生項(xiàng)目及一個(gè)本科輔修課程。作為這一宏偉藍(lán)圖的一部分，威廉瑪麗學(xué)院已于今年4月宣布，計(jì)劃在2025年秋季啟動(dòng)弗吉尼亞州首個(gè)海洋科學(xué)本科項(xiàng)目，旨在培養(yǎng)更多海洋科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的未來(lái)之星。

A $100 million gift from Jane Batten HON ’17, L.H.D. ’19 will position William & Mary and our Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) as the global destination for science that safeguards the vitality of our world’s coastlines and waterways. Mrs. Batten’s gift is the largest to a university for coastal and marine research and education. It is also the largest in William & Mary’s 331-year history. This morning, the Board of Visitors unanimously approved naming the School of Marine Science the Batten School of Coastal & Marine Sciences.

The Batten School will expand our partnerships, attract talent and generate interdisciplinary solutions to the threats faced by vulnerable coastal ecosystems. Consistent with our Vision 2026goals, the school builds on William & Mary’s longstanding commitment to environmental resilience. In April, the Board of Visitors approved the first public undergraduate marine science degree in Virginia.

I am grateful to Mrs. Batten for her trust in William & Mary and our mission. She has challenged alumni, friends, philanthropists and policy-makers to join her in supporting the school’s groundbreaking education and research. William & Mary has set a goal to raise at least another $100 million to realize our vision for the school.

We should all feel deeply proud that William & Mary is at the forefront of this important work. There is no university better positioned to lead.
