The Kochalka Challenge: Double Your Impact

Thanks to a $1 million leadership gift from Jim Kochalka ’70, all new and increased gifts to the True Viking Campaign will be matched dollar-for-dollar — but only for a limited time.

“Jim embodies what it means to be a True Viking—his gift reflects a man who gives with intention and heart.”
— President Joe Martinez ’99
