Planned Gifts
Planned gifts create scholarships, help academic programs, athletics, or student affairs, provide crucial support to our library, auditorium, and centers, build and help maintain facilities and landscaping, and do much more--often transforming the educational experience of our students.
If you are interested in providing this kind of support, our gift officers will be happy to meet with you to plan your gift. The list below includes some of the gifts that result from such a meeting.
