Â鶹´«Ã½

Confetti is swept. Finals are graded. Campus has fallen quiet enough to hear the snowflakes fall outside Gunter.

With many cheers, hugs and tears, more than 700 Bears celebrated graduation last week. Nearly 12,000 others finished off finals week and headed home for a much needed break. Plans are being made for next semester and beyond.

Graduation can at times seem unattainable for many students. Even returning next semester may look uncertain for some. Roadblocks to success can come in many forms. Now more than ever, we’re focused on our commitment to the support and success of every Â鶹´«Ã½ student.

That’s where you can help. YOU can give them the gift of a bright future. As you consider your year-end giving plans, consider giving to Bears. Your support helps ensure all Bears have access to a Â鶹´«Ã½ education and provides meaningful financial relief when their focus should be on the work at hand.

Built to ensure student success, the Campus Commons will provide a one-stop, interconnected student support center.
