Annual Giving

This year has been a special one for CSBS as we celebrate UNI’s 150th anniversary. It’s been a chance to reflect on the impact this college has had over the years — and the role so many of you have played in shaping it. I’m continually inspired by the ways our students, faculty, alumni and friends bring that legacy to life.

During our annual day of giving, Live Purple Give Gold, the university saw record-breaking support — such an exciting reflection of Panther pride. Your generosity continues to make a real difference for our students, opening doors to hands-on experiences, scholarships and opportunities that prepare them for whatever is next.

This has truly been a year of celebrating our past, present and future — and the people who make it all possible. I’ve especially enjoyed connecting with many of you along the way and would love to continue those conversations. I hope you’ll join us for Homecoming Weekend October 9-10 as we wrap up this milestone year together!
