The solid foundation I received at UW has opened many doors for me. I think it is important to give while you are ‘alive and taking nourishment,’ and it will be such a joy to see the new building on its completion. Mary Behrens (’64 BS Nurs) |
|  | The generosity of alumni and friends is responsible for much of the University's progress. Gift dollars used to support faculty chairs and professorships and to fund faculty development allow the UW to recruit and retain outstanding teachers and researchers. Contributions for scholarships and fellowships help students achieve their educational goals.
Private funding will often provide the extra support needed to launch new programs or to strengthen established areas of study. Supplemental support provides seed money for the research efforts of younger faculty members and for those projects that may not be eligible for major federal funding.
In recent years, donors also have joined in a public-private partnership with the state of Wisconsin to pay for renovating older structures and building new facilities. |
