Welcome to the third issue of “Giving,” the College of Liberal Arts online newsletter. With the end of our calendar year approaching, I wanted to thank you for your past support and we hope to be able to count on your continued generosity in the future.
Past donations to the College have allowed us to award multiple scholarships to deserving students this academic year, which reminds us all of how each one of us can make a positive impact on an individual’s life this holiday season. I wish you and your families a happy and safe holiday season and I look forward to your continued involvement with the College in the upcoming spring semester!
Warm regards,
Gerry Riposa
Dean
