A summary of giving initiatives within the Department of Psychology is available through the College of Literature, Science and the Arts Office of Advancement.  Some additional giving opportunities are detailed below.

Psychology Strategic Fund

The Department of Psychology is ranked among the top three nation-wide, and many of our specialized programs are ranked first or second. Investing in the strategic fund helps us carry on the Department’s tradition of excellence. Gifts to this fund make it possible to enhance the research and training of our undergraduate and graduate students, and to recruit, retain and support our exceptional faculty. The strategic fund also provides resources for newly emerging and focused initiatives, including our effort to recognize the vital role of faculty mentorship in our students’ educational experiences. Your support will be an endorsement of our efforts!
