They can take advantage of an extensive curriculum and at the same time receive personal attention from their professors. Undesignated gifts can be used immediately and where they are needed most. Parents also have the option to designate gifts to the library, athletics, and scholarships . Part of the income from the endowment is used to defray costs. The endowment is managed very carefully, with a fixed payout rate for current operating costs.
Every gift is important.
We urge those who can support the College to do so at a level that is appropriate for them. Gifts may be undesignated, benefiting the College's greatest need, or designated at the donor's preference. Trustee Associates are invited to special events during Alumni Weekend and receive invitations throughout the year to join faculty, administrators, alumni, and friends for College events on campus and in major metropolitan areas. Your financial support will, in turn, set the example for other families.
