How: A Testament to Resilience

Recent student in a Poettcker Hall dorm room

Sixty-seven years of studying, celebrations, lounges, and even some quiet nights—Poettcker Hall has held them all. Its resilience mirrors that of our students, who overcome academic challenges, growth, and uncertainties. As we renovate, we honour their tenacity and determination. The project is a pledge to uphold Poettcker Hall, ensuring it stands tall for another seven decades—a place of welcome, a sanctuary of learning, and a testament to the caring nature of our campus.

Join us in this transformative endeavour. Together, we'll breathe new life into the beloved Poettcker Hall, preserving its soul while re-shaping its future. Our past and future converge within its walls; let us ensure they do so beautifully.

We need your help to make this a reality. The total cost of the project is $8,200,000. This project will:
• Transform the living experience for 124 CMU students
• Reduce CMU’s total greenhouse gas emissions by 16.6%

Financing Plan

Your sustained support helps us plan long-term projects with confidence, knowing we have a reliable funding stream. Together, we can achieve remarkable goals, and your commitment, spread over time, makes generosity accessible to all, regardless of one's immediate financial situation.

While every gift is important and gratefully received for this project, we invite you to consider giving at least $750 to this project over five years.

Contributing $750 over five years to the Uphold campaign breaks down to just $150 annually, or about $12.50 per month—less than the monthly cost of a weekly coffee shop visit. This manageable approach to giving will allow many to participate in making a significant impact.

Each gift will be gratefully received and receipted.

Every contribution—big, small, as a single gift, or as a pledge of up to five years—creates a ripple of positive change.
