Giving
Support from private donors, foundations, and organizations gives the Department of Social and Critical Inquiry the ability to expand partnerships, serve communities, enrich student experiences, and advance faculty research. Our family of donors see their investment reflected in the excellence of our students, award-winning research, and public impact. Robust giving allows us to reward innovative scholarship and to competitively recruit students and faculty.
Fund Highlights
