LAS Day of Giving
Alumni and friends of the College of LAS know that education is more than lectures and textbooks.
At the College of LAS, curiosity drives everything we do. From exploring new ideas to solving the world’s biggest issues, we empower thinkers and doers to transform curiosity into measurable impact. We empower our students to question, explore, and act with purpose. Our faculty are at the forefronts of interdisciplinary collaboration, global engagement, and hands-on research. This fall, we’ll celebrate this incredible impact through our second annual Day of Giving. By making a gift, you will support students and faculty who don’t just adapt to change but create it.
