Giving to the Library
Help Us Fund the Next Chapter
From stacks of books to state-of-the-art digital studios, the library has always evolved with students in mind.
As we celebrate 25 years in the Schulz Information Center, we're raising funds to ensure the next 25 years are even more inclusive, innovative, and student-centered.
Our Priorities
Access to Course Textbooks and Learning Materials
No student should have to choose between buying groceries or buying textbooks.
Last year, we added 300 new textbooks and course materials to our collection, which students can access for free. With your help, we can continue to remove financial barriers and support academic success for every student.
- $100 can cover one textbook that can be accessed by an entire class of students.
- $300 can cover materials for three classes, potentially supporting hundreds of students.
- $500 can cover a perpetual license for a streaming video that can be used in class for years.
Digital Creation Studios
Our students are makers, dreamers, and doers. Not every student has access to a high-end computer, camera, and editing software, but faculty report that these tools make a noticeable difference in the quality of students' digital creations.
We're building a podcasting studio and a video production studio to support hands-on learning, creativity, and storytelling across disciplines. These are real-world skills that students can take into their future careers.
- $400 can buy a professional microphone for recording high-quality audio.
- $1,000 can buy a high-end camera for capturing stunning video and photography.
- $2,000 can buy a powerful Mac desktop ideal for video production and editing.
Student-Centered Spaces
Every student deserves to feel seen, supported, and safe.
Help us redesign spaces that support wellness, flexibility, and belonging—including more study areas and an upgraded Family Study Room.
- $6,000 can purchase a family workstation that lets parents focus on their schoolwork while their little ones are safe and entertained.
- $10,000 can help us redesign service points for improved accessibility and research consultations.
- $25,000 can help us create a new space for students to relax, recharge, and connect with their peers.
