About this project:
The College of Engineering is dedicated to empowering our students to succeed in college and beyond. We seek to offer every student access to hands-on learning opportunities that strengthen professional skills, foster innovation and prepare them to enter the workforce with confidence from day one.
We are raising funds to expand real-world learning experiences, such as internships, research projects, professional conferences and community-based learning initiatives. These opportunities often come with costs students cannot afford on their own. Your donation will support travel expenses, materials, participation fees and other resources needed to make these experiences accessible to students of all financial backgrounds.
By investing in this project, donors help create an impactful learning environment in which every student can apply classroom knowledge to real-world challenges, develop vital career skills and graduate fully prepared to thrive in their chosen field.
How your support makes a difference!
This initiative opens doors to transformative, hands-on learning experiences that connect education with action. From engaging in field research and internships to presenting at national conferences, students gain practical skills, confidence and professional networks to power their careers.
Your gift fuels these opportunities, helping students turn potential into performance. Every contribution creates a ripple effect—empowering individual students, strengthening our college community and building a more skilled, capable and inspired workforce for the future.
Gifts to this project may also provide general support for the College of Engineering.
