Student Giving
Bleed purple. Give gold.
Think about what makes your Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ experience special. The professors who know your name. The friendships that will last a lifetime. The opportunities that challenge you to grow, discover your passions, and prepare for the future.
Behind so many of these experiences are generous donors who believe in Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ and in students like you.
Now, you have the opportunity to pay it forward.
Your gift—no matter the size—helps strengthen the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ experience for students today and for those who will follow in your footsteps. More importantly, your participation shows your Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ pride and sends a powerful message that students believe in the community they are helping to build.
You are part of what makes Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ special. Your gift helps make that possible for the next generation.
Bleed Purple. Give Gold. Give Back.
Every gift makes a difference. Every student counts.

Oak Tree Society 
Giving for 3+​ consecutive years
The oak tree has often been used as a symbol of strength, nobility, and longevity. Similarly, the Oak Tree Society honors donors who have shown a commitment to making an unrestricted gift for three or more years consecutively. A gift, no matter the size, big or small, that is given every year to the University grows to the power of an oak tree when it is joined with gifts from other Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends.
Oak Tree Society members are recognized at Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ events as well as on our websites and on printed donor lists by the symbol of an oak leaf next to their names.
