Barbara Lettiere’s Lasting Legacy Campaign

After a distinguished corporate career, President Lettiere served on the University’s Board of Trustees starting in 2010, becoming the first lay chairperson of the Board in 2015. In 2017, she was named President of Immaculata University, becoming the first layperson to serve in this capacity.

During her tenure, President Lettiere has led Immaculata through a period of remarkable transition and historic growth, leaving an incredible impact not only on campus but on the lives of the whole Immaculata community. Her dedication to the students of Immaculata has been evident in all she has done, from knowing the students by name to attending countless activities, events and games as noted by the presence of her white VW bug in front of Lourdes Hall.

Over the last ten years, her outstanding leadership and service have been most visible in the over $30M in capital projects, campus renovations and enhancements benefiting IU students, touching every facet of campus life.

She recently announced that she will retire effective July 1, 2027. In her final year at Immaculata University, you are invited to honor and celebrate President Lettiere by supporting the Barbara Lettiere Legacy Campaign, which will raise funds for the Barbara A. Lettiere Endowed Scholarship Fund. The goal is to raise $1M by May 16, 2027.

Beginning at the $519.72 level, your donation is eligible for recognition on the campaign plaque. Everyone who donates will also be invited to a reception with President Lettiere in June 2027. All gifts will be counted toward class giving totals and alumni participation if appropriate. All gifts will be acknowledged in the annual Honor Roll of Donors.
