A SILVER LINING: WILLIAMS CAPTURES OLYMPIC GLORY
Former University of Miami sprinter Lauryn Williams won the silver medal in the 100-meters in a personal-best time of 10.96 seconds at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
“It feels great,” said the 20-year-old Williams, who became the youngest woman to win a 100-meter Olympic medal in 32 years. “I’m a silver medalist with a personal best.”
Williams, who earlier this season won the 100-meters at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships,
becomes the first Hurricane women’s track athlete to medal at the Olympic Games. She is one semester shy of receiving her degree in finance from UM and expects to complete her class work this fall.
UM ADVANCES IN U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT RANKINGS
The University of Miami moved up again this year in the U.S. News & World Report’s “Best Colleges in America” rankings. The University moved up two spots in the overall rankings, from No. 60 last year to No. 58 this year, continuing an upward trend.
Last year UM experienced a dramatic six-point jump from No. 66 to No. 60. In the Great Schools, Great Prices category, a new category added this year where cost is measured against quality, UM ranks in the top 50 (coming in at No. 49). No other institution in Florida was ranked in the Great Schools, Great Prices category.
o
purred by the excitement of « its billion-dollar Momentum campaign, the University of Miami recorded some of the largest annual fundraising gains ever during fiscal year 2004, posting increases in almost every category of giving.
“It was a banner year for fundraising,” says UM President Donna E. Shalala. “We launched the campaign with several generous gifts last fall, and we just keep gaining momentum.”
Total private cash, gifts, and grants topped the $125 million mark in fiscal year 2004, an increase of 35 percent from the previous fiscal year’s total of more than $92 million.
“The increases are in great part due to the energy and excitement generated from the campaign,” says Sergio M. Gonzalez, vice president for University Advancement. “Additionally, President Shalala’s leadership, together with the academic and research initiatives that are taking place here, have created a unique sense of excitement among our donors, alumni, and friends.”
UM recorded increases in almost every category of fundraising: Non-alumni giving reached $50.2 million, which is an increase of almost 140 percent over last year, while foundation giving topped the $36 million mark, an increase of 5.5 percent.
• Total giving from UM trustees, which represents almost 31 percent of total University support, reached $38.8 million, representing a more than 220 percent increase over last year’s figure.
• Total support for the School of Medicine topped $63.9 million, which is an increase of 11.2 percent and comprises more than 50 percent of total University support for fiscal year 2004.
• The overall Annual Fund—including alumni, non-alumni, corporate, foundation, and organization giving—reached $18.1 million, a 12 percent increase.
Other gains reported: Giving to current operations reached $77.9 million, and irrevocable planned gifts reached $30.3 million.
Alumni fundraising also reported impressive gains, with total alumni giving reaching $10.2 million, up 35.7 percent from last year. If alumni-related entities, such as personal foundations and alumni-owned companies, are included, alumni giving actually reached $23.2 million for fiscal year ’04.
The fundraising results come almost a year after the University launched the public phase of the most comprehensive

fundraising initiative in its history:
$ 1 billion by mid-2007.
Momentum: The Campaign for the University of Miami will endow student scholarships and create endowed teaching chairs; attract gifted professors, scholars, and technicians from around the globe; endow new interdisciplinary centers and institutes; and enhance research initiatives across the University’s campuses.
At the campaign’s kick-off event in October 2003, three entities were inducted into the newly created Millennium Society, which honors those whose commitments to the University have reached $50 million or more: The Buoniconti Fund to Cure Paralysis, the Diabetes Research Institute Foundation, and the Harcourt M. and Virginia W. Sylvester Foundation, Inc.
The campaign received a major boost last year when philanthropists Phillip and Patricia Frost donated $33 million to UM’s School of Music. The gift has renamed the school the Phillip and Patricia Frost School of Music. Phillip Frost is chairman of UM’s Board of Trustees and chair of the Momentum campaign.
As of August 20, 2004, the Momentum campaign had reached $643 million, an increase of more than $240 million or 63.3 percent over figures reported in May 2003. Seven donors have given $ 10 million or more, nine have contributed $5 to $9 million, and 98 have donated $1 to $4 million. “We anticipate a continued level of intensity and excitement in our philanthropic efforts in the next several years,” says Gonzalez.
