About

The College of Arts & Sciences is thrilled to participate in the University’s annual Day of Giving! We are the largest College at the University and serve nearly 100% of undergraduate students. We encompass 18 Departments, 3 Centers of Excellence and 3 Museums/Galleries. We prepare students for their intended careers in a nurturing environment with faculty and staff who are committed to their success. Today, more than ever, the programs offered through our College ensure students are prepared for the challenges of working in communities locally and globally.

We strive daily to place students on the pathway to fulfilling their educational aspirations. However, we can’t do it without your support! Please choose one of our key initiatives, or give to the department or fund of your choice! You make opportunities available with every gift provided and with your help, “Graduation Begins Here!”

While state funding has been awarded for these projects, the final cost for each includes a private fundraising requirement that must be met. The projects in the College of Arts & Sciences are:

  • CAS Academic Building - total cost is $62.5 million; fundraising goal is $3.9 million.
  • Brown Hall Renovation, Phase I - total cost is $47.7 million; fundraising goal is $1.9 million.

We've reached our second goal! Thank you so much to everyone who has donated to the College, the Departments and the different Funds. Our goals are based on the amount of donors, so any amount helps us reach our goal. We're over halfway to our goal of 210 donors. For now, check out the Dean's first attempt at pottery.
