This is the third leadership gift made by the McCourtneys during the University’s current fundraising campaign, “A Greater Penn State for 21st Century Excellence.” Their latest commitment follows a $3 million gift in 2016 to establish the Tracy and Ted McCourtney Endowed Professorship Matching Gift Program, which resulted in six endowed professorships in the College of the Liberal Arts; and a substantial gift in 2019 to establish the McCourtney Civil Discourse Initiative Fund, which enhances the McCourtney Institute’s efforts to support scholarship, collaboration and activities that serve to promote respect and open-mindedness in political discourse for all of American society.
