Harvey Hampton University’s Endowment Has Now Increased to more than $400 Million & Counting2021-11-04T20:00:15Z<![CDATA[HAMPTON, VA., Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- At the recent fall 2021 Hampton University Board of Trustees meeting, Mrs. Doretha J. Spells, Vice President for Business Affairs and Treasurer, announced that the University’s Endowment now sits at more than $400 million and growing. She stated, “This marks the best financial position that the University has ever been in throughout its distinguished history.”“The chief reasons why Hampton University has been able to consistently increase our endowment while other institutions and businesses are facing tough times financially are two-fold. First, our team emphasizes the importance of fundraising. Secondly, we practice fiscal conservatism as it relates to our expenditures. Hampton’s trustees have also made wise investments and business decisions in our financial portfolio,” said Dr. William R. Harvey, Hampton University President. “The collective competence of the team that has supported me during my 44 years of leadership has also played a major role in Hampton’s success.”When Dr. Harvey first stepped onto campus in 1978, Hampton University’s endowment was at $29 million. During his impressive four decades of unparalleled leadership, Dr. Harvey and his team have increased the endowment by 1,279 percent and now it is more than $400 million as a result of new money and appreciation. Dr. Harvey “practices what he preaches.”Many have labeled Dr. Harvey as one of the best fundraisers in the entire country and he “practices what he preaches.” The Harveys have contributed $10,300,000 to Hampton University with student scholarships being one of their main priorities. Approximately $3,000,000 of their donations have been specifically targeted for named scholarships, including Laron Clark, Jr. Scholarship Fund for First Generation Students; Alumni Legacy Scholarships, Royzell Dillard Scholarship Fund; String Ensemble Endowed Scholarship; Audrey B. Greene Scholarship Fund; City of Hampton Chief of Police – Pat Minetti Endowed Scholarship; Herbert E. Kelly Endowed Scholarship and Hampton University Chief of Police – Christopher Harper Scholarship Fund. Other scholarship funds have been contributed directly into general endowed scholarships.The first couple’s history of giving also includes faculty and staff salary increases during lean financial periods. For an example, in 2011, Dr. and Mrs. William R. Harvey gave a gift of a million dollars to be used to increase faculty salaries. Also in 2011 and again in 2014, the Harveys gave donations of $166,000 and $108,403 respectively to support wage increases for fulltime, permanent Hampton University staff. At that time, Dr. Harvey indicated that it was not just the upper echelon of administrators who made up the team, but quoting Langston Hughes, he indicated that, “The dream belongs not just to the dreamer alone, but all the hands that helped to build.”Hampton University is not the same place it was when Dr. Harvey arrived. Today, Hampton attracts outstanding students with high SAT scores who bring positive national and international attention to Hampton by winning prestigious scholarships and competitions, conducting research, as well as engaging in prominent leadership and service activities. Interest in the "Hampton Experience" has led to between 15,000 and 20,000 applications annually and a steady enrollment. Classified by the Carnegie Commission as a 'High Research Activity' institution, faculty and students conduct cutting-edge research in various areas. Dr. Harvey’s list of accomplishments is much too long to include each one, but they have benefited Hampton, the Hampton Roads Region, the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the national higher education landscape.A visionary, Dr. Harvey has embraced HU founder General Samuel Chapman Armstrong’s mission to have every aspect at Hampton University excel and to promote the development of character among all of the constituent groups. The William R. Harvey years, 44 and counting, will grace the record books as an unparalleled accounting of mega success, not just for the HU students, faculty, staff and alumni whose lives give testimony to the results of his labor, but also for the global community of stakeholders who will continually reap the benefits of his astute leadership for generations to come.]]>Hampton University WaterfrontHampton University CampusDr. William R.

Harvey arrived on the campus of Hampton Institute, in 1978, to take over the reigns as leader of an institution that was slowly losing ground. Many wondered why he chose Hampton. Other institutions, including majority institutions and more financially stable institutions, had offered him presidencies, but he decided to accept the position at Hampton. He chose Hampton because he wanted to be in a place where he could offer the greatest service and make a difference. Dr. Harvey has often stated that choosing Hampton was the best professional decision of his life!]]>https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2019/06/20/1872121/0/en/Nationally-Recognized-Hampton-University-Center-for-Public-Policy-s-Latest-Poll-Shows-Biden-Leads-Crowded-Democratic-Presidential-Nominee-Pack.html?f=22&fvtc=4&fvtv=44429Nationally Recognized Hampton University Center for Public Policy's Latest Poll Shows Biden Leads Crowded Democratic Presidential Nominee Pack2019-06-20T18:31:19Z<![CDATA[Recognized nationally, the latest Hampton University Center for Public Policy (CPP) poll reveals former Vice President, Joe Biden, tops the list of surveyed Virginia Democratic voters.The survey of 1,126 registered Virginian voters who all self-identify as Democrat were asked the question, “If the election were held today, which one of the Democratic candidates currently running for President would you vote for to be the Democratic presidential candidate in 2020?"Joe Biden is at the top of the list of contenders with 36%, far ahead of Senator Bernie Sanders who landed in second place with 17%.
