Annual Giving


The College of Social & Behavioral Sciences alumni and donors are as diverse as our different class offerings, but they all share one thing in common: a strong desire and commitment to give back to the college and university that means so much to them. We want to thank each of you who have made a contribution this past year. Your support is pivotal to the delivery of a quality education to our students! Our goal, when working with alumni and donors, is to find a way for them to support their passion and vision. Your gifts are an investment in students, faculty and programming. It is important that you, our supporters, see a return on that investment.
