You have helped us get here. This past year, hundreds of students benefited from scholarship and award dollars. This financial support eased their burdens and lifted their spirits, motivating them to keep pushing through. We also launched new projects through our Experiential Learning Opportunities Fund. Through this fund, students had the opportunity to work hand in hand with faculty creating video game consoles in Communication, work to better our community with the First Ladies of the Hillside in Duluth, and explore careers by pursuing meaningful internships.
Furthermore, we launched a new scholarship program to enhance the diversity of our student body. A diverse student body enriches the learning experience for all by invigorating the academic dialogue. After careful consultation with students and faculty, the Aequitas Scholarship will be awarded to returning students who contribute to creating. more diverse student body in our college. If you are interested in learning more about this program, please reach out.
Lastly, we are excited to announce the long overdue renovation of AB Anderson Hall! More to come on this exciting project that will make this space more comfortable for students studying History, Communication, and Art and Design. We have several naming opportunities available to help secure your legacy at UMD.
Again, thank you for all you do to make UMD a fun and engaging place to learn, grow; and create. Our faculty, students, and staff, are enriched by the support of our alumni and friends. If you wish to learn more about any of the opportunities available for you to join us, please contact me at [email protected] or at 218-726-6708. I’d love to hear from you!
