Campaign

Founded in 2023 by Professors Matt Chick, Laurel Elder, and Zach McKenney, the Hartwick Institute of Public Service partners with local governments to engage young people in our democracy, develop a foundation in the law and inspire the next generation of public leaders.

The anonymous gift serves to inspire broad support for the College through the Hartwick Fund.

The campaign has focused on five pillars, each of which plays an integral role in formulating the unique, independent, impactful education which decades of graduates attest is the essence of the Hartwick experience.

The fund will provide long-term support for the program, with potential uses including funding the team’s annual training trip, purchasing new equipment, and making improvements to facilities.

Founded in 2019, CFOC, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the quality of life and prosperity of Otsego County, has made Hartwick College a funding priority.

Nearly 150 people attended and more than $42,000 was raised in support of Hartwick athletics.

Brett Schilkraut ’95 and Danielle Quilligan ’99 have remained highly engaged with their alma mater.

Board Chair Kathy Fallon ’88 succeeded beyond her wildest dreams, and believes in holding the door open for those who come behind her — the same way people opened that door for her.

Each recipient earns a substantial tuition grant and a place among those who represent the very best of Hartwick College.

She established the Lorraine Reich ’52 Scholarship.
