Why Give to the College of Business and Economics? 

Teaching and learning are central to CBE's mission.  We are committed to supporting our students throughout their education so that they have the foundation necessary for successful and fulfilling careers as well as in making a positive impact on business and society. 

Each year we provide a range of support for our students, from academic scholarships to support for travel and conferences. We also look to support the wonderful faculty and staff (that you may remember) so that they can do the good work of creating a forward-looking, technologically advanced, and agile learning environment.                           

Impact: Your gift to support the College of Business and Economics will help to provide the best possible learning experience for our students by supporting student scholarships, mentorship programs, skill building, and professional development efforts across the college.
