    Donate to the Libraries

    We serve about 20,000 students and nearly 900 faculty members on our campuses through a wide variety of library services, physical materials, and digital collections, all in support of their pursuit of academic excellence. We hope you will consider donating to help us fulfill this goal. The generosity of our donors enriches collections and helps the library sustain growth.

    Gifts of Funds

    Gifts at all levels are appreciated, as are bequests and other planned gifts, endowments, and larger contributions. To learn more about making a monetary donation, please contact Joy Bolt, Dean of Libraries, or Jeff Boggan, Director of Estate and Gift Planning.
