Student Affairs' Giving Opportunities
The Student Affairs division is dedicated to providing intentional opportunities for students to learn, grow, and reach their highest potential. Support from our colleagues and community members allows us to fill gaps for students who may need assistance in order to focus on their education. Supporting the whole student, from mental or physical wellbeing to basic needs, provides a foundation for their academic pursuits.
Ways to help the whole student
University Foundation Accounts
Donating directly to University Foundation accounts helps the associated areas to plan ahead and to respond quickly. Giving is open year round but each year, the Foundation office organizes a Give Day that will be publicized.
*Financial support through the Foundation is tax deductible.

Student Affairs' Foundation & Basic Needs Fund
The Student Affairs division is dedicated to providing intentional opportunities for students to learn, grow, and reach their highest potential. Unanticipated hardships resulting from emergencies, accidents, or unforeseen events can derail our students. With support from our community, we can provide immediate assistance for students. By helping with costs associated with housing expenses or utilities, replacing items lost due to fire or theft, or safety and medical concerns, the funds can provide immediate relief that allow students to regain stability and return their focus to their academic pursuits.
The Student Affairs foundation funds provides immediate assistance to students in need. In collaboration with the PACK CARES team, the Student Affairs foundation team works to fill the gap for our students, so they are more likely to be retained and persist through graduation. Only current students can apply for assistance. This fund may cover expenses related to an immediate and vital need but may not be used for non-essential items, entertainment or recreation, or expenses for families or friends.

Basic Needs Clothing
We are finding more students are in need basic clothing. Nothing fancy or expensive - just good, solid staples they can wear daily. A cross-divisional volunteer group maintains and operates the Pack Closet for students. While the group has a dedicated storage space for the clothing, the program is run similar to an online clothing subscription such as StitchFix or DailyLook (without the subscription part). Students submit a form online. The group uses donations to fulfill the need or to purchase the specific need. The student receives the clothing and accessories via the Student Mail Room to reduce stigma. The student can return any unwanted items through the same process.
The volunteer group is dedicated to providing regular donation days. More information can be found at Pack Closet.
