The College of Behavioral and Social Sciences is deeply grateful to our leadership donors, whose remarkable commitment to our institution opens doors and broadens horizons for our students and faculty. While every gift to BSOS makes a difference, lifetime giving and planned gifts of $100,000 and above to our college have a lasting impact that can bring about transformative, generational change.

Members of our college leadership team frequently communicate with our donors to help them see how their gifts impact our students, faculty and research. Leadership donors are also invited to share in unique events and experiences with students, faculty and staff, on and off campus.
