ESPIRITUS NOVA: THE CAMPAIGN FOR VILLANOVA UNIVERSITY
Espiritus Nova: The Campaign for Villanova University reflects the strong, generous and unshakeable spirit that connects us all as Villanovans. It’s the passion in our hearts, the warmth of our love, the strength of our Augustinian Catholic values and the generosity of our actions — encompassed in two powerful words. Espiritus Nova is more than a name. It’s a feeling and sense of community that every Villanovan truly understands.
OUR GOAL: $1.25 BILLION
We have the drive. And now we need you.
This campaign is the most ambitious fundraising effort in the University’s history. Achieving our goal will strengthen our academic preeminence, enrich our campus and amplify our collective Augustinian Catholic impact — across the nation and around the world. This goal may be bold, but when Villanovans put hearts and minds to work, we are unstoppable.
