Giving to the College of Arts & Sciences!
The Development Office’s purpose is to cultivate ongoing support for the College of Arts and Sciences through corporate and private contributions and through volunteer efforts such as those of an active Board of Visitors and Associates. Our responsibilities include the coordination of fund raising and alumni activities. It is only through the generous contributions of our alumni and friends that we are able to enhance the college’s high standards of academic achievement, research, creative activity, and community outreach.
Our ongoing fund-raising initiatives include building existing and establishing additional funds to support scholarships, fellowships, professorships, faculty support, program enrichment, and program technology.
