Annual Giving

Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of deepening relationships with many of the individuals within the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences here on campus and out in our alumni community. Whether you're an alum, faculty or staff member, student or friend—your commitment to this college is both inspiring and essential.

Thanks to your generosity, we received record-breaking support for CSBS during Live Purple Give Gold—an incredible milestone that reflects the pride and passion so many of you have for this college. Gifts to the Dean’s Fund, scholarships, academic departments and programs create meaningful opportunities for our students every day.

As the university approaches its 150th anniversary, I’m especially excited to partner with our alumni and friends to honor the legacy of CSBS and all who’ve shaped it. I hope you’ll join us for Homecoming this fall as we celebrate the past, present and future of our college. Whether you’re considering your first gift or looking to make an even greater impact, I am confident your passions can help shape what comes next. I'd love to hear from you!
