Alumni, parents, and friends made a significant impact on students and programs through their philanthropy in FY 2023.
In terms of student success, donors supported scholarships for nearly 400 students. A generous donation from Don Rembert ’61 and Judy Ellis Rembert ’60 allowed the college to administer an aptitude and strengths-based testing pilot program on the Hill for more than 30 undergraduate students. Utilizing both the Abilities Potential and CliftonStrengths tests, these assessments helped students identify their natural, innate talents and learn how to further focus on and develop their strengths.
Expanded experiential learning in the forms of Jan Term and summer term student travel to Ireland and other parts of the world, as well as student-faculty research, were made possible by donors.
Green and Gold athletic donors played a critical role in providing team travel, coaching support, and equipment for the college’s teams.
Donors also gave to support facility and equipment upgrades, such as new Biology Department equipment and classroom upgrades and renovations to Harvey Stone Pavilion.
