We are so grateful to all who have contributed to our Foundation funds over the years!
Gifts to the History Department Foundation fund, in particular, have enabled more students to attend the banquet by holding the student ticket price to an affordable rate, even as costs rise.
We are truly fortunate to have such dedicated and enthusiastic alumni and friends!
