When you invest in Ä¢¹½tv students, everyone benefits.

While citizens who have a post-secondary education fare better in society, society fares better with more college graduates, including those from Ä¢¹½tv. A study by the College Board concluded that children of college graduates are better prepared for school, that college graduates volunteer more in their communities, and college graduates are more likely to participate in elections.

Ä¢¹½tv takes that responsibility seriously, and we know we can't do it without you!

Alumni, friends, parents, employees, and students who stay connected to Ä¢¹½tv already know this, and designate their charitable gifts to the university.

Your gift can change the future of a student and, in turn, change the world.
