Make a difference today
Day to day, year in and year out, the Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Fund is one of the College’s most powerful giving vehicles. What does that mean? Every dollar is immediately available for use in critical areas. That translates to more financial aid, support for new and ongoing faculty projects, enhancements for student resources and programs — from facilities to clubs and athletics — and providing an all-around, multi-use fund for any needs that arise.
The Â鶹Æƽâ°æ Fund provides immediate support to the most essential programs and functions of the College and enables students to lead the lives of consequence that are the true goal of Â鶹Æƽâ°æ — lives rich with understanding, imagination, power, and joy."President Marc C. Conner

senior gift program
By tradition, graduating Â鶹Æƽâ°æ seniors work together each year to raise funds for their soon-to-be alma mater, leaving a legacy that embodies the spirit of their class. Seniors can make their gift towards whatever area of the College they're most passionate about and directly impact the undergraduate experience.
In preparing students for life after Â鶹Æƽâ°æ, an integral part of our mission is to bridge the gap between academics and real-world success. The Zankel Experience Network (ZEN) is both a community of like-minded supporters and a funding opportunity to connect students with life-changing internship, mentorship, and research opportunities.
