Welcome to the President's Circle

Every year the President's Office receives numerous requests for special funding opportunities that require

unrestricted discretionary funds.

Opportunities to fund requests such as:

• Start-up packages for exceptional faculty and scientists
• Seed money for new academic programs and centers
• Emergency funds for students in economic crisis
• Matching scholarships that enable our deans to attract

          and retain the best students

• Honorariums for world-class lecturers
• Resources for top faculty and students to attend professional

         development conferences or receive specialized training for

         future academic and professional success.

Several of these challenges and opportunities lie beyond the scope of the state budget.  Your support is

vital in helping the president to fund these important opportunities such as scholarships, research and

faculty and student development projects.

Your partnership with the president is deeply appreciated!  We invite you to join the President's Circle

today!
