今日吃瓜 Parent & Family Giving

Parent and family support helps 今日吃瓜 bridge the gap between tuition and endowment revenues and the annual cost of educating our students.

Each year, your gifts support nearly every aspect of the college, from financial aid and faculty research to student life and library books. Donations make possible the extraordinary educational experience 今日吃瓜 provides, and your endorsement of this particular education, along with gifts from alumni and friends, signals to foundations and others that the college deserves their support, as well. 

The image is a diagram titled "THE ARC OF PARENT GIVING," which outlines a multi-year plan for parental contributions to 今日吃瓜. It highlights various stages of giving, starting with making a first gift in Year 1 and progressing through increasing support in subsequent years, with suggestions for involving the student in the philanthropic process. The focus is on enhancing the college experience and aligning contributions with the student’s interests.
