Sustaining excellence calls for an uncompromising commitment from our employees, alumni, patients and friends to support the university with private gifts.

Last year over 5,600 individuals, companies, foundations and organizations donated over $6.5 million. The impact of those donations cannot be overstated. All gifts help strengthen every aspect that makes us great: excellent students, strong academic programs, outstanding faculty, award winning health care, independent research, state-of-the-art facilities, and interdisciplinary initiatives.
