Your gift will help launch what's next
Giving takes many forms at Hartwick, and are all equally important. Your FlightPath unrestricted gift supports the development of our students and our programs, setting our graduates up for success and expanding the Hartwick network.
In Honor of President Drugovich
Dr. Margaret L. Drugovich will retire this summer after 14 years as Hartwick’s President. With focus and vision, an open mind, and collaborative planning, she has brought Hartwick forward to this moment in its 225-year history. The result is FlightPath: Hartwick’s bold new Education for Tomorrow.
The Margaret L. Drugovich Fund for Unrestricted FlightPath has been established by the College community to recognize her leadership and lasting impact. Please join us in thanking President Drugovich by making a gift in her name.

EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION OF HAWKS
Setting a high bar as Hartwick supporters, Sally Griffiths Herbert ‘88, H’19 and her husband Tim are regular donors to the Hartwick fund, have endowed a fund to help numerous students study abroad over J Term, and have also created opportunities with leadership gifts to athletics facilities, and the establishment of the Griffiths Center for Collaboration and Innovation on campus.
Make a gift for the future.
Hartwick College was established nearly 225 years ago by an estate gift from John Christopher Hartwick. Including Hartwick in your estate plans today is a true reflection of your deep and abiding commitment to student success that will have lasting impact for decades to come.
You can give now and plan to give later
You can give in a multitude of ways, all of which can help make a life-changing difference. From small gifts that you can give right now, to larger planned endowments and blended gifts, every gift can help launch Hartwick graduates.
Hartwick Philanthropists
Bruce Anderson ’63
Thanks to his generosity, two Hartwick students went abroad for J Term this winter and another is receiving financial assistance for four years of study. He is making a difference, and doing it in the name of his parents.
“My parents didn’t have the opportunity to graduate high school,” says Anderson, whose father died when he was 15 years old. “We didn’t have much money and without financial aid I couldn’t have gone to Hartwick. I got a very good education and now I’m giving back; the two cannot be separated.”
Ginny Elwell ’77
For Ginny, philanthropy and volunteerism operate in concert. “If you’re going to be a good advocate, you have to demonstrate that you’ll invest your time, which is extremely valuable, and your money,” she explains. “The corollary question is, how can you be an effective advocate if you haven’t invested first?”
Her approach to philanthropy is equally straightforward. “Money is only worth what you do with it; it’s not a score card,” she says. “Hartwick is my number one and I like to let it show.” She has – through 38 years of consecutive giving to her alma mater and uninterrupted volunteer service.
