MAKE YOUR MARK
ON THE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS
AT UH-DOWNTOWN

In Fall 2008, the College of Business installed its first, and the university’s first, donor wall recognizing the college’s endowment and major program start-up gifts, lifetime alumni donors, and contributors to the college’s Academic Partners annual fund campaign. The wall is updated and renewed annually and can expand in size over the years to reflect the full range of donor support the college receives.

I welcome your consideration of the Academic Partners annual campaign as a way to provide direct financial support to the college. Your involvement and generosity will enable us to:

• Augment and strengthen the student learning experience
• Upgrade technology
• Recruit faculty and students
• Reduce above-norm faculty teaching loads
• Establish program and operating endowments in the college 

We are in Year 4 of the Academic Partners campaign. The total raised during this time frame is $22,000+ and the number of lifetime alumni donors at the $1,000+ level has increased from 16 to 30 individuals.  I am grateful for these expressions of gratitude and support toward the college. 

Please click for Features about the Academic Partners donor recognition benefits.  August 31, 2011, is the cutoff date for gifts to be recognized on the 2010-2011 Academic Partners donor wall.  At certain donor levels, an additional individual 12-month room nameplate is included.
