About

Campus Life Annual Fund

Make an impact on student experiences and opportunities that shape the Fisher experience.

Support the transformative experiences happening beyond the classroom. Gifts to Campus Life provide opportunities to get involved and shape the Fisher experience. It allows us to expand and build on-campus activities, support student clubs and organizations, and enable community-engaged learning.

Campus Ministry

Campus Ministry welcomes students of all faith traditions and provides opportunities for worship, prayer, and service for the entire campus community. Gifts to Campus Ministry largely help service trips for students who choose to spend their breaks serving others in need.

Center for Career and Academic Planning

The Center for Career and Academic Planning (CCAP) helps students excel academically, explore careers, and develop skills through experiences. Gifts to the Center help create transformational experiences by expanding the resources it offers for experiential learning and academic support.

Civic and Community Engagement

Fisher has a variety of community-engaged learning courses and service opportunities for students. From sponsored service trips to student-led service activities, these experiences in the larger community prepare our students for real-world accomplishment, and allows them to form stronger bonds with classmates.

Health and Wellness Center

The Health and Wellness Center employs a team of professionals who provide compassionate medical and mental health services and wellness education to students. It also serves as a resource for the campus community. Gifts are used to expand the resources available to students and support the work of the University’s JED strategic plan, which supports the work of the JED Foundation, a national non-profit organization that protects emotional health and prevents suicide for teens and young adults in the United States.

Student Hardship

This fund actively assists students with difficult personal circumstances. Gifts help support travel home, housing, online learning, temporary storage, and many other needs that arise unexpectedly. 

Student Research and Creative Work

The Center for Student Research and Creative Work supports students and mentors across the disciplines as they engage in the processes of creative inquiry, dissemination of their work, and self-development. Gifts to the Center help with summer research opportunities, travel support, presentation opportunities, and mentor development.
