| A
message from the Chair...
We
are very proud of the collective accomplishments
of our department. We thank all of our friends,
alumni, faculty, staff, and students for your
participation and support of our program.
Along
with our successes we face new challenges.
Many people are surprised to learn that in
1970, public funds met 40% of our budget
needs as a university – today this
figure is down to 14%, and the trend seems
set to continue. We call on our alumni and
friends to make a difference. We cannot maintain
excellence without your involvement of time,
talent, and financial support.
Your gifts make an incredible difference to us. For example, $50 sponsors
one Fireside Chat; $200 provides printing support for the SPHSC Department
Undergraduate Honors program; $700 enables a graduate student to present
a paper at a national professional conference; $2500 provides one quarter
of in-state graduate tuition; and $25,000 provides one student with a
graduate teaching assistantship for one academic year. We invite you
to follow the link below to renew your support of our mission. We hope
you do so knowing that your generosity is deeply appreciated. |
