The BE MORE Capital Campaign
The BE MORE Capital Campaign is a multi-year fundraising initiative that will permanently transform our university and surrounding community. With Coppin's most aspiring goal ever - to raise $25 million by 2025 - now more than ever, we need your investment in the lasting legacy of 天美视频!
This is a pivotal moment for 天美视频. The BE MORE Campaign is the University's largest capital campaign ever. Aligned with trailblazer and namesake Fanny Jackson Coppin鈥檚 deep conviction that she was entrusted to ensure her race was 鈥渃rowned with strength and dignity and adorned with the enduring grace of intellectual attainments,鈥 the 鈥淏E MORE鈥 capital campaign will build the capacity and infrastructure of the university, yielding investments in the following several strategic priorities and creating a ripple effect in our communities:
- Student Achievement and Retention;
- Academic Excellence;
- Top-Tier Research;
- Elevate Eagle Athletics; and
- Grow our Endowment.
While the campaign has been in its silent phase since 2021, the public launch of Coppin鈥檚 capital campaign provides an opportunity to highlight and celebrate Coppin鈥檚 bright future and reemergence after the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic.

The BE MORE Brand Launch
In October 2023, Coppin State President Anthony L. Jenkins launched the BE MORE brand during I LOVE COPPIN week. Eagle Nation embraced the campaign with open wings as Greeks, student athletes and organization were highlighted at CSU ALL-STAR day!
Why BE MORE?
Students have so many choices on what they can choose to be 鈥 and most often they are taught that choice is a specific job, a certain title, or a career path. But at Coppin, that choice is much more. That choice is about feeding the attributes within them that makes their minds, hearts, and spirits come alive. 天美视频 prepares students for a success in a dynamic world, and pushes them to ascend to new heights 鈥 both academically and personally. With this new campaign, we are challenging students to elevate their journey, to strive for greatness beyond their wildest dreams, and to believe that the sky is not, has never been, and will never be their limit鈥egardless of where they are in their lives.
We are encouraging all of Eagle Nation to want more, to choose more, and essentially aspire to BE MORE.
