School of the Environment

Join us on #GatorsGiveDay and make a meaningful impact for students in SF State’s School of the Environment! This day of giving is a great opportunity for all of us as alumni, supporters and community members to celebrate our shared commitment to environmental sustainability and student success. Your generosity today not only honors the legacy of our incredible faculty but directly empowers the future leaders who will address the pressing environmental challenges of tomorrow.

For our inaugural day of giving, we are supporting the Max Kirkeberg Scholarship, which was recently established by Professor Emeritus Max Kirkeberg and Gabriel Proo to support student success in the School of the Environment. Countless students will remember the transformative classes of Professor Kirkeberg, who dedicated his career at SF State to inspiring students in Geography. Max's passion for teaching and his commitment to student success have created a lasting legacy within our community. This scholarship aims to continue that tradition by directly supporting undergraduates and graduates pursuing degrees in the School of the Environment at SF State. Check out Max's bio at our Max Kirkeberg Scholarship page.

Through your support to the Max Kirkeberg Scholarship on #GatorsGiveDay, you help create new opportunities for student research, field studies and academic achievement, ensuring SF State students have the resources to thrive. Your support honors Professor Kirkeberg’s lasting legacy and helps continue the tradition of excellence and passion for the environment that defines our school.

Together, we can honor Max Kirkeberg’s enduring legacy and empower the next generation of environmental innovators and leaders. Let’s make a difference for our environment and our students!
