Your Gifts in Action

The Natural Resources Enhancement Fund

Through the flexibility of this fund, we can enhance our students’ experiences, reduce their financial burden, and ensure that we graduate career-ready professionals.

Thanks to donor contributions, we have been able to:

• Support Student Scholarships: Your gifts have funded first-year and transfer student scholarships, ensuring that talented individuals have access to quality education regardless of financial circumstances.
• Enhance Student Well-Being: With support from this fund, the college hired an in-house mental health counselor dedicated to supporting our students, promoting their well-being and improving academic success. In addition to 1:1 counseling, he holds walk-in hours, group discussions and wellness programming.
• Improve Student Success: Through your generosity, we made enhancements to our collaborative spaces for teamwork and community building and provided opportunities for travel and professional development, enabling our students to present their work at conferences, engage globally and enhance their expertise.

The Future of the Fund

With the ongoing support of our generous alumni and friends, we hope to continue growing the Natural Resources Enhancement Fund to:

• Increase the number of scholarships to first-year and transfer students
• Send 10 more students a year to conferences
• Assist with graduate student fees
• Add and enhance collaborative student spaces
