The Michigan Daily - michigandaily.com y ThursdayJanuary 12, 2012 - 5A CAMPAIGN From Page 1A the campaign will start, May said in an interview with the Daily last fall that the campaign will launch sometime "during this decade." May said the University has embarked upon a' major fund- raising drive every decade since the 1940s, except the 1970s. With the University's 2017 bicenten- nial approaching, May said it's likely that the campaign will overlap with the celebrations on campus. "One of our greatest distinc- tions in this new campaign is that we're going to start the third century," May said. "That's a pretty good thing. One of the things about campaigns is that you want to appeal to tradition." Though the campaign's official launch maybe years inthe future, University's deans have held dis- cussions regarding specific goals and have also met with Coleman, Hanlon, the University's Board of Regents and other officials over the past year, May said. Coleman said a new cancer center at the University Hos- pital and further collaboration between the Ross School of Busi- ness and the College of Engi- neering have been discussed, but noted these are just preliminary ideas. "There are all sorts of ideas bubbling up right now, and that's what's so exciting about planning the campaign. We're not there yet, but I'm just hear- ing all these great ideas," Cole- man said.. As goals for the campaign are being established, the Univer- sity's Office of Development is laying the groundwork for the campaign's fundraising infra- structure. May, Baird and the rest of the fundraising team have begun to train the deans and development staff in preparation for the campaign. Several new deans - includ- ing Alison Davis-Blake, dean of the Business School, and Marie Lynn Miranda, dean of the School of Natural Resources and Environment - that have joined the University since the last campaign ended, will need to start developing relationships with donors, May said. "When (deans) come in, they need to be trained in the Michi- gan culture," May said. "Some need to be shored up in fund- raising, others need to come in and understand how Michigan AATA From Page 1A want," Shore said. "But we want to make sure that we're not put- ting something in there that somebody might not really use." At the session held at Blake Transit Center on Fourth Ave- nue - Ann Arbor's main hub for AATA buses - bus riders were surveyed about what features they would like in a newly built transit center. The surveys included dis- cussion on improved technol- ogy - such as a touch-screen trip planning service with func- tionality similar to Google Maps and real-time arrival and depar- ture signs. Other topics included customer amenities like vending machines, a USB charging station and a food and beverage cart. Another survey asked for rid- ers' thoughts on a proposed floor plan for the center. Riders who aren't available to attend either session may complete an online survey to give their feedback. Terry Black, project manager for the construction of the new Blake Transit Center, said the replacement of the center is long past due. He said the sessions will help builders fine-tune their cur- rent designs to meet the needs of Ann Arbor residents. "I think we're close to where works." Baird said he's the "details guy" in terms of fundraising training and preliminary plan- ning for the upcoming capital campaign. He formerly served as a vice chancellor at the Univer- sity's Dearborn campus and was hired in September to lead the campaign. "It's really a lot about process and strategic planning," Baird said. "On any given day, I could be consulting on an issue with units to bolster their fundraising. teams. It's very much an internal planning and strategic planning process and role." May and Baird agreed that there were areas that the Uni- versity could improve on from the previous campaign - most notably in donor stewardship. According to Baird, in order for donors to feel like they're actual- ly making a difference with their contributions, it's critical for the University to ensure that they're involved with finding a perfect cause to donate to the University. "They want to provide help and support," Baird said. "That's another thing that campaigns do - they help organize and galva- nize the volunteers because they have this sense of urgency."* More than 365,000 donors contributed to the last campaign, but May said the University will need to identify individuals who have not previously donated to the University. He added that the University will continue to seek pledges from international and non-alumni donors. Though the economic outlook of the country is uncertain, May said economic conditions aren't his top concern when deciding when to launch the effort. "Truthfully, some of the richest people who went to the University of Michigan are not hurting, and those are the people we'll ask for (contributions)," May said. Coleman said the University is constantly in need of donors and is always looking to improve itself, regardless of the state of the economy. "The two most important contributions made to this Uni- versity were made during the depth of the Depression - the Law Quadrangle and the Rack- ham Graduate School," Cole- man said. "Those gifts - and they were huge gifts at the time - were made at a time when the prospects of this nation looked horrible at the time. You can't stop. You can't predict the future." we need to be with the design of (the center), but we're look- ing to get some input on minor tweaks we could make," Black said. "We've had a high level of (input) ... we've had it internally and we've done a customer sur- vey before, but we want the rid- ers' input as well." Ann Arbor resident Jamie Lee, a regular bus rider who often uses the Blake Transit Center, said she thinks an upgraded cen- ter was definitely needed. "It could be more accommo- dating," Lee said. "I think that there's a lot of things that are missing." Lee said the current center isn't sufficient for a city like Ann Arbor. "I feel like it doesn't neces- sarily meet up with Ann Arbor's expectations of what a bus cen- ter should be like, especially since it's such a moving city," Lee added. At yesterday's session, Lee offered several ideas for the new center. "I would definitely recom- mend it having more room for people - it's really cramped and crowded in here," Lee said. "There should be more accessi- bility because there are disabled people that take the bus and the one door on the far side of the building isn't enough. It should also have extended hours, with a safer place for people to sit." BREAK tion and swift responses to the rEmaewater line break in the release.
