A key part of this goal is the HUB Alumni - Race to 60 Campaign, celebrating 6 decades of academic excellence. The challenge is for each decade of HUB alumni to raise $60,000, which will be matched by an additional $60,000 from one of our Decade Deputies.
 
The first decade that reaches $60,000 will be honored in the Hall of Horizons, HUB’s highest honor for dedication and legacy. Will your decade be the first to 60?
