Make a Gift

Gifts from our alumni and friends allow us to fund a wide array of activities to enrich the life of the department that otherwise would be impossible. In addition to covering the production and postage expenses associated with our departmental newsletter, the InvestiGator, we use the funds in a variety of other ways that benefit our students. We provide a cash award to accompany the "J.S. Vandiver Teaching Assistant of the Year Award," and we hold an annual reception to welcome our new students. In the past few years, we have also received some larger gifts that have allowed us to address major needs. Two years ago, we received a large gift that allowed us to purchase eight new computers for our graduate computer lab. This year we received a substantial gtift to support our colloquium series for speakers visiting from other universities.

As I am sure you can appreciate, a solid base of alumni support is one of the principal factors that distinguishes the best universities and departments from the rest. we hope you will be able to help us this year with a gift of $50, $100, or more.
