The fund supports the university in other ways, too. Proceeds from last year's campaign funded a new science program for non-science majors, underwrote scholarly research, and sponsored conferences and lectures that reinforce the university's Catholic mission. The surrounding community has benefited from alumni contributions, too. Proceeds allowed six dozen neighborhood youngsters to attend a week-long day camp on campus last summer. Employed and retired alumni, whose companies participate in matching programs, can double or triple their contributions to the fund.
Gifts are fully tax deductible.
