Annual Giving

As a new member of the CSBS, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know many of the incredible students, faculty, staff, alumni and donors that make this college so special. Each individual brings unique perspective, interests and passions—yet they all share something in common: a desire to give back to the institution that holds such significance for them. To all who contributed to the Dean’s Fund or other area within the college last year, thank you. Your generosity directly impacts the quality of education we provide to our students, and for that, we are immensely grateful.

I’m eager to meet more of you, our alumni and friends, and explore ways to align your passions with our college’s goals. Your contributions serve as a crucial investment in the future of our students, faculty, and programs. If you’re interested in exploring different avenues for giving, please reach out. I’m excited about the opportunity to collaborate with you!
