Giving

An Investment in the Future of Library & Information Education

Your gift to the School of Information is a direct investment in the education of the next generation of leaders in the library and information professions. Private philanthropy helps our students in many ways that would not be possible within the iSchool's normal operating budget. It also provides funds that are vital to the iSchool's ability to attract and retain the most talented students and faculty members.

The Impact of your Gift

Each year, the iSchool receives various financial gifts of all types and all sizes. Our students and faculty all benefit from the generosity and consistent support of our donors. From adding the latest technology in our labs, to providing scholarships, professional development, and networking opportunities, your ongoing support is critical to our mission of educating leaders in the information profession. Among the items funded by donor gifts to the iSchool are:

• Research Colloquia, Workshops, and Conferences
• Open House in Fall and Spring Semesters
• Commencement and iSchool Convocation
• New Student Orientation and Career Services Bootcamp
• Back-to-School Mixer for New and Returning Students
• Alumni Events, including TLA, ALA, SLA, SAA and Regional gatherings
• Career Workshops, including Speed Interviewing, Networking, Alumni Panels, and Speakers
• Unique internship opportunities, such as spring break in the Library of Congress
• Professional photographs for our students
