Support

General fund dollars pay for instruction in the classrooms and what the University offers to the public. There are other things that we are doing, typically without funding – things like faculty workshops to improve their teaching, creating pipelines from community colleges or prisons, showcasing community engagement opportunities, kickstarting field study and faculty research projects, and implementing special initiatives on advancing student retention and graduation for our current students. These are all things that could be more robust with additional resources. Donations also allow our departments to host public lectures and forums to create a larger education platform that amplifies national, international perspectives to enabling student success.
