Supporting the Terry Edge Network
Developing confident leaders and student success
Established in 2016, the Terry Edge Network (TEN) instills confidence and leadership skills in Terry’s student body. TEN offers an array of programming to build connections with alumni and industry professionals, helping students achieve their academic, personal and professional goals.
Ensuring TEN’s Future
The Terry Excellence Fund supports critical funding for TEN. At its founding, six founding donors providing the seed money to kickstart this program. Now it’s time to permanently endow a program that is part of the fabric of the Terry College experience.
A $1.5 million endowment is needed to sustain the quality programming, immersion experiences, and experiential nature of the Terry Edge Network. Alumni have already committed to building this endowment. Still, we need others to join and help us secure the foundation that will enable us to provide the unique and life-changing offerings of the Terry Edge Network in perpetuity.
