Wartburg College has completed its three-year fundraising campaign with more than $38 million, surpassing its original goal and supporting student scholarships, experiential learning opportunities and campus needs. The private college, located in Waverly, announced in a news release it raised $38.2 million through its “Our Brightest Days: Realizing Purpose, Leading Change” campaign, which held the goal of $36 million when launched three years ago. Wartburg President Rebecca Ehretsman said in the release the campaign and strategic plan that was developed with it “have been a labor of love” since she came to the college in 2022, and the campaign’s impact will last for generations of Wartburg students.
