Gifts to the Succeed with Ease Closet supply essential resources to students for their courses, ensuring that students have the books, technology, and supplies they need to walk into their classes ready to learn.
Gifts to the College of Arts and Humanities Excellence Fund can be directed to the areas of highest need. Some of the projects we support include our iCamp Program for high school students in Philadelphia. This program invites students to use their talents in digital media to facilitate change and shed light on community development and social issues.
Gifts to our Study Abroad funds support our students’ ability to participate in our dozens of education abroad programs in the Arts and Humanities. These opportunities range from 3-week-long media studies courses exploring Ireland’s journalism industry to semester-long studies in Lyon, France.
Gifts to the Change Agent Fund provide paid campus research opportunities, internships, and study abroad experiences.
Additionally, the iCamp Academy is a week-long residential summer media camp at WCU for Philadelphia high school students. Supported by Rustin Urban Community Change Axis and WCU faculty, iCamp empowers students to use digital media to explore social issues and community development. Through this experience, students gain exposure to college life, connect artistic expression with social change, and strengthen the relationship between WCU and the region’s urban communities.
We are proud to be able to offer these opportunities to our students and to our greater community members to help enrich this place we call home. Please consider a gift to any of our funds and feel free to reach out to us if you have questions about where your gift will have the greatest impact.
