The RC relies on donations of all sorts from alumni and friends to support a unique pedagogy that challenges our students to engage with their education.
For the 2012-2013 academic year, the RC is focusing its fund-raising on these critical areas:
A Robust Strategic Fund (#349830)
A Robust Strategic Fund (#349830) to Support a Broad Array of Student-Centered Programming is a crucial component of the RC's overall financial and organizational foundation. Your gift to the RC General Fund provides the staff and faculty of the Residential College the maximum flexibility to support critical programmatic needs. Your donation supports a diverse array of student activities for community-building, supplies for the important social hours in the internsive language programs, and much more.
Residential College Construction and Renovation Fund (#801269)
Residential College Construction and Renovation Fund (#801269) has always been central to an RC education and to the life of the community. This is the "artful difference" that pushes students to do creative work and show the results. Yet, until recently, the physical facilities for the four visual art studios were in dire need of renewal. Your generous donations have allowed the purchase of updated equipment and supplies, expanded studio space, and much more.
As East Quad undergoes extensive renovation from May 2012-August 2013, your help is more important than ever as we upgrade and improve our classrooms and teaching spaces.
Residential College Community Outreach Efforts
RC students are challenged to take the initiative in shaping their own education, to participate actively in classes and in extra-curricular programs, to think critically about what they are learning and reflectively about what they are doing, and to engage with the University community as well as the outside world.
