Why Give Today
CLA classrooms, studios, and performance halls are the breeding grounds for critical thinking and interdisciplinary learning, exposing students to a wide range of perspectives and possibilities. Our research actively improves people's lives, creating new knowledge and healthier communities. And our community connections serve as a powerful reminder that our work is collaborative and inclusive. With your gifts, you help create engaged, empathetic citizens; citizens who are poised to drive meaningful change in their communities and beyond.
Career readiness, study abroad, internship opportunities, and scholarship support - just a handful of ways you can support academic excellence while investing in tomorrow’s leaders. Your contributions to CLA empower our students and faculty to continue actively engaging with the pressing issues of our time.
