Why are annual gifts important to the College? Annual funds provide the College with a base of spendable funds from which it can respond to the most exciting opportunities and the most critical needs.
Why should faculty and staff take a special interest in giving back to Medaille? Giving back to Medaille is really about students. When we give, we provide the scholarships, accessibility, equipment and resources they need. Educating students is our core mission and we should all support that. When we as faculty give, we show that support for the Medaille family starts right here – at home. When Medaille thrives, we all thrive!
Thank You
