• IU Kokomo exceeded its goal of raising $468,000 by the end of 2004, to attain a Kresge Foundation matching grant and establish an endowment for replacement of science education equipment. On Jan. 21, gifts to the Kresge Science Initiative campaign totaled $502,247. Coupled with the construction of Virgil and Elizabeth Hunt Hall in the late 1990s and associated gifts for building maintenance and scholarships, the campaign represents another milestone in more than 12 years and $3 million in efforts to advance science education on the campus.
