You may wonder, when I make a gift to Greatest Need, where does it go?
In the 2022-2023 academic year, gifts to Greatest Need funded over $80,000 in professional development for faculty/staff in 32 different areas of the University. Gifts to Greatest Need provided faculty/staff with the opportunity to present research, expand skill sets, discover new educational delivery methods, expand knowledge and expertise, and collaborate with peers. Your gift to Greatest Need touched our entire campus!
