Message from Your Dean: Your Generosity Supports Student Success
Dean Cheryl Achterberg

Dear Alumni and Friends,

On September 26th, I had the honor of addressing students and donors at the college's annual Graduate Scholarship Tea.

Imagine my pride to learn that, thanks to your gifts to our college, we would present 222 students with $737,524 in support of their academic careers.

Add to that amount the undergraduate scholarships awarded this past May, and you, as donors, gave more than $1 million in student scholarships this year.

We celebrate your generosity!
