The Investment Office carries out 91ֱ��’s investment strategy and facilitates the daily operations associated with managing the endowment, which is the financial keystone of the institution.

Investment earnings from 91ֱ��’s endowment provide essential support for such things as student scholarships, professorships, faculty research, and building maintenance. The endowment grows over time in two ways: through gifts to 91ֱ�� from generous alumni and friends, and through increases in the market value of the pooled investments.
