Excellence Fund Impact Reports
It is my pleasure to share the 2025 College of Arts and Sciences Departmental Excellence Fund Impact Reports. These reports offer a look at the many ways your generosity is making a difference for our students, faculty, departments, and the broader College of Arts and Sciences community.
Excellence Funds provide our departments with important flexibility to respond to emerging needs and opportunities. They allow us to support student success, enhance educational experiences, advance research and creative activity, provide opportunities for faculty and student development, and strengthen programs across the College.
As you explore these reports, you will see examples of the impact made possible through your support. From hands-on learning experiences and student scholarships to research initiatives, faculty development, community engagement, and other opportunities that enrich the academic experience. Each investment, regardless of size, helps our departments respond to the needs of our students and faculty and pursue opportunities that might otherwise not be possible.
On behalf of our students, faculty, and staff, thank you for your continued generosity and partnership with the College of Arts and Sciences. We are grateful for your belief in our mission and for the important role you play in helping us provide exceptional opportunities for our students, support our faculty, and strengthen the College for the future.
We are proud to share these examples of your impact and deeply grateful for all you do for our Cougar community.
