Caprio Challenge
Celebrating the Impact and Influence of President Anthony S. Caprio
After 24 years of distinguished leadership, President Caprio will retire from Western New England University. The longest serving president in our history, his career at the University comes to a close at the intersection of the recent celebration of our Centennial and the beginning of our second century.
$1 Million Caprio Challenge
Launched in February of 2020, the Caprio Challenge is a fundraising initiative to recognize President Caprio for his leadership, dedication, and service to Western New England University. A group of trustees and benefactors has offered up to $500,000 in matching funds for gifts in honor of President Caprio.
Honor Dr. Caprio with a gift in support of his fundraising priorities, or direct your gift to the area of the University that is most important to you. Your gift will help us access $500,000 from our Challenge Leaders and move us toward our $1 million goal in honor of President Caprio’s retirement.
