The reasons are unique to those individuals, but they may also describe your motivation for giving. We also celebrate some of the benefits of that sharing. The Torah says, Deeds of giving are the very foundation of the world. That is certainly true for the College of Human Resources and Family Sciences. The funds we have received support the foundation of a better life for people, our students and those in society they will serve.
Scholarships provide people with education and skills that build a stronger future.
Many students would not have access to higher education without the financial assistance provided by our alumni and friends. The skills they develop have multiplier effect on the well-being of society. Funds for support of innovation and excellence provide the resources for initiative in programs which assure that student needs are met. New program strategies need a boost to make sure that existing program quality is retained and new programs are excellent. In recent years funds have supported computer laboratories, undergraduate and graduate student travel to professional meetings, the Robert Hillestad Textiles Gallery for exhibiting student and faculty work, and globalization of student experiences among others.
