Giving Opportunities

College of Letters and Science Endowment Fund

This fund is of greatest need to the college. Proceeds will be used to fund various activities including:

• Student scholarships
• Development and travel monies to ensure that faculty have access to the resources that keep them at the forefront of their fields
• Financial support for bringing speakers to campus for the benefit of the entire University community
  

Roseanne Hoefel Multicultural Endowment

Named in memory of Roseanne Hoefel, former associate dean for the College of Letters and Science, this endowment honors her memory and her cause by providing speakers and programs that enlighten and educate our students on diversity. Dr. Hoefel embraced the literature of other cultures and worked to create comfortable learning environments for all. As a result of her specialized interest in American Indian studies, we are proud to host the UW Oshkosh American Indian Inter-Tribal Pow-wow in October.

Student/Faculty Collaborative Endowed Research Fund

This fund provides financial backing to talented students who team with faculty to conduct high-level research. These collaborative endeavors not only provide students with valuable hands-on experience, but also offer the opportunity to publish articles in academic and professional journals; present research results at regional, national and international conferences; and share findings with service groups and other interested parties. These experiences help to develop skills and confidence in unparalleled ways. As a direct result, participating students are clearly more competitive and better prepared for graduate and professional schools.
