At the 10-year celebration of the Cleverley Fellowship — the last time MHA alumni banded together to create a game changing opportunity for students — alumna Elizabeth Seely announced a new campaign including a challenge for alumni and their class be declared “The Best MHA Class.”

More than 80 alumni, faculty, staff, students and friends gathered at the Ohio Stadium October 20, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Cleverley Fellowship, the result of a $1 million fundraising campaign led by Master of Health Administration (MHA) alumni to support students and increase the program’s national reputation.

Following the campaign to create The Stephen F. Loebs Professorship in Health Services Management and Policy, the William O. Cleverley Fellowship campaign was the second time the MHA alumni had joined together to raise $1 million to support the program in a critical area of need. On Thursday night, alumna Elizabeth Seely, ’90, challenged her peers to “do it again” and “collectively raise not one, but $2 million.”

This new $2 million campaign kicks off with a class challenge crowning the graduating class with the highest percentage of giving participation through Dec. 31 as “The Best MHA Class.”
