Library Funds The Paul Bechtold Library, named in honor of CTU's founding president, contains over 150,000 volumes for scholarly research and other academic pursuits. Nearly 500 periodicals are also available. Although the Bechtold Library houses one of the most focused collections of Roman Catholic literature in the United States, there is an ongoing need to receive additional books and periodicals from prospective donors. Contributions to fund the preservation of older valuable retrospective publications are also needed. Give now .

Faculty Development Funds In the earlier days of CTU, the faculty was comprised predominantly of members of religious orders. Over the past 30 years, faculty members belonging to religious orders have contributed $10 million of their salaries to CTU. As the faculty grows to include more lay members, CTU is challenged to offer competitive salaries, and decrease its dependence on the contributed services of the religious. To meet these goals, CTU seeks to endow a number of professional chairs and distinguished professorships which will alleviate stress on the school's finances. Give now.
