There are many ways you can contribute to the continued growth of our School
Discretionary Giving
Contributions to our discretionary fund help us support our students' academic success, professional development, and overall experience. These funds are typically used for case competitions, emergency assistance, skill-building workshops, guest lectures, and a range of student-led initiatives. Such activities not only enrich the learning experience but also cultivate a vibrant and inclusive academic community. Your support is essential to sustaining these impactful programs and advancing our shared educational mission.
Faculty Research Fund
Your generous support empowers our faculty to pursue innovative research initiatives, present at leading conferences, and collaborate with scholars worldwide. Our faculty are currently conducting research on diverse topics such as the future of work, aging in the workplace, union organizing, and agricultural labor practices. By supporting this fund, you are investing in cutting-edge research that goes directly into the classroom and the continued excellence of our academic community.
Scholarship & Assistantship Fund
Gifts to the Scholarship and Assistantship Fund directly support our students by reducing financial barriers and opening doors to academic and professional opportunities. Your generosity helps students focus on their studies, gain valuable experience, and prepare for meaningful careers in human resources and labor relations. Every contribution makes a difference in shaping the next generation of leaders.
Career Development Support
Career Team Leaders play a critical role in guiding first-year students through the rigorous, but rewarding, internship recruitment season. With your support, we will be able to maintain our team of special mentors and provide them with the support needed to prepare our students for success!
