Hamline Pipers are more than just students—they're scientists, guitarists, environmental activists, teachers, poets, social justice leaders, and changemakers. They bring their full selves to Hamline, where they explore, grow, and become their best selves.
Piper Funding Week is your opportunity to support a variety of programs, departments, and initiatives at Hamline dedicated to the development of students' knowledge, leadership, scholarship, and service.
Hamline University is dedicated to its mission to create a diverse and collaborative community of learners dedicated to the development of students' knowledge, values, and skills for successful lives of leadership, scholarship, and service. Students, faculty, and staff need YOUR help in pursuit of this mission. Join us in fostering powerful and new opportunities for Pipers in and out of the classroom.
Your gift, no matter the size, can unlock powerful opportunities:
- Enriching Academic and Cultural Experiences: Funding supports diverse initiatives, from the A Cappella Choir's regional tour and English & Communication Studies' off-campus programs to the Music Lesson Fee Assistance Fund, enhancing students' educational and artistic development.
- Preserving History and Advancing Resources: Donations bolster academic resources by facilitating the digitization of historical sports footage at the Hamline University Archives, improving the Forensic Science program's training facilities, and strengthening the Physics Department's Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Endowed Fund.
- Supporting Student Well-Being and Community Engagement: Contributions to the Student Emergency Fund aid students facing financial crises, while support for the Wesley Center's Interfaith Program enhances spiritual life on campus. Funding the Hamline to Hamline Collaboration supports connection and learning for Hamline Elementary and Hamline University students.
This exciting week runs from April 14-18 and gives you the opportunity to support Hamline students. If you are interested in supporting Pipers, please give before 11:59 p.m. on Friday, April 18, 2025.
