The Foundation

Mission Statement

The Foundation’s one goal is to support the University’s educational mission by providing quality services that complement the instructional program.  The University depends upon the Foundation to provide services that cannot be supported with state funds.

The primary activities of the Foundation include the administration of sponsored programs and the University’s gift and endowment funds, along with the management of bookstore and dining operations.  Surplus funds generated by the Foundation are allocated to the University to support activities central to the University’s mission.

The Foundation, along with its Board of Directors, is committed to operating in a manner that is ethical, professional and in the best interest of the University.
