OUR DONORS ARE IMPORTANT!

Gifts provide the resources to create precious opportunities and address unanticipated needs in the schools, colleges, departments, and programs on campus. While most traditional funding sources are committed to programs in advance and must be used for specific purposes, Your gifts provide the needed flexibility in a very fiscally rigid budget. 
University Development provides a source of unrestricted support to Midwestern and promotes academic excellence through the following types of initiatives:
  • Providing scholarship support to the most deserving students;
  • Supporting faculty professional development;
  • Expanding learning opportunities available to students;
  • Acquiring state-of-the-art academic equipment and resources; and
