ÍøÆسԹÏ

ÍøÆسԹÏ's donor-supported Outdoor Pursuits program makes outdoor recreation possible for all students, faculty and staff.

ÍøÆسԹÏ’s Emergency Support Fund has provided Bears with financial support just when they need it most.

Thanks to the ongoing generous support and engagement of alumni, friends, faculty and staff, the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï has posted a record fundraising year for fiscal year 2022 (FY22), surpassing the $20 million mark for the first time in ÍøÆسԹÏ’s history.

This past spring, working with ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï alumnus Cathy Lucas ’90 and her team at Lucas Narratives – Think Strategically, the university initiated a brand audit to better understand strengths and gaps, assess perceptions internally and externally, better define the brand, evaluate current communications and recommend strategies based on the findings. 

ÍøÆسԹÏ’s newly named director of the César Chávez Cultural Center shares the goal that drives him, the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï experience that shaped him, the people who helped him along the way and his vision for the Center.

ÍøÆسԹÏ’s Blue & Gold Golf Tournament is a long-time favorite event that reaches back decades into the university’s history, giving alumni, friends, coaches and student-athletes a chance to get together for some friendly competition on the golf course while raising funds for scholarships for student-athletes.

Jennifer (McHugh) Taylor ’87 and Dan Taylor ’86, of Monument, Colo., recently established an endowment in hopes that others will be able to experience ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï and Bear life.

On Saturday, April 9, the 14th Annual Women’s Walk – with more than 300 participants – raised nearly $30,000 to make a difference for the ÍøÆسԹÏ’s female student-athletes.

When late alumna Sharon Gander ‘74 designated part of her estate to ÍøÆسԹÏ, her only specification was support for a ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï Alumni Association scholarship, and so her gift was endowed to create the Sharon Gander Alumni Scholarship.

This past year, thanks to the generous support of WeldWerks Brewing Co., the ÍøÆØ³Ô¹Ï community had an opportunity to participate in workshops designed to create a space where students, faculty and staff could explore topics related to diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) across a broad range of identities.
