MARK YOUR CALENDAR! OUR NEXT RAISE YOUR PICK GIVING DAY IS ON APRIL 17, 2024!
Liberal Arts Student Travel
Support student travel

Learning happens when students attend conferences to present their research papers, participate in prestigious art and music competitions, or immerse themselves in other cultures, histories and languages. Whether independently, or through faculty-led programs, studying away equips students with problem-solving skills in a 21st century world requiring global perspectives.  

For Raise Your Pick Giving Day, we ask you to support student travel programs. Although student travel enhances their educational experiences, students not always have the resources to fulfill this dream to study away. Your donation will go a long way today.

In addition to student travel, the College of Liberal Arts is seeking support for additional programs. Please click the buttons below to explore the various campaign areas:
