Last year's Day of Giving donors directly impacted students and faculty within the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences by empowering us to take significant steps forward in providing students with the resources, opportunities and mentorship they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom. Thank you for your engagement and commitment to excellence as we amplify human potential to propel transformation. Collectively, we are preparing the leaders of tomorrow, now!
