I Want to Give Friends of the School of Economic Sciences
Each year, hundreds of alumni and friends of the School of Economic Sciences enhance the teaching, research, and outreach programs of the School through charitable gifts. Through their generous gifts, individuals and organizations provide scholarships and fellowships and make possible the endowment of distinguished professorships and endowed chairs.
Donations to the School are charitable gifts, fully tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. Our first priority is to raise enough funds to complete the endowment of a distinguished professorship in agricultural and resource economics within the next three years. While we would expect to appoint a distinguished professor soon after sufficient funds are raised, the long-term goal is to pursue the distinguished professorship as an intermediate step to endowing a faculty chair. The former requires private contributions of $250,000 while the latter requires $1.5 million (including the $250,000 for the distinguished professorship).
The School’s 10-year goal is to raise sufficient funds for an endowed chair, six endowed graduate fellowships, and 15 endowed undergraduate scholarships as well as commitments for two more endowed chairs. Except for undergraduate scholarships, all are eligible for state matching support. In addition, each endowed chair provides an additional faculty position. This public-private partnership will secure a critical base of support to assure innovation, continuity, and excellence of important programs in the current environment of limited public support. For more information please read Investment in Excellence.
This campaign to promote the School’s future is being led by the School of Economic Sciences Friends Development Committee.
