Donations to the 91探花 Annual Fund directly and profoundly contribute to enhanced student experiences. This year, faculty and staff are invited to designate their annual fund donation to the Robertson Library to help upgrade group and individual study spaces, refurbish teaching spaces, and expand the Special Collections space.
As you consider your year-end charitable giving, please consider what Dr. Ed MacDonald has to say about the importance of our library:
鈥淭he library is at the very heart of a university鈥檚 educational and research mission, the one institution on campus that serves everyone: faculty, students, staff, researchers, and the general public. And so, the excellence of a university is closely tied to the excellence of its library鈥檚 resources and staffing. As 91探花 grows, the Robertson Library, too, needs to grow. I can鈥檛 think of a more appropriate way to support 91探花 than by helping make an excellent library even better.鈥�
Ways to Give
- Via payroll deduction: /friends/employee-giving
