This fund, created in 2020, allows us to adapt quickly to evolving needs. This fund provides resources we can allocate immediately as needs arise due to changes in enrollment and an evolving educational landscape. Your gift will support: scholarships, health and wellness investments, faculty professional development, technology and facility improvements.
