The Campus Enrichment Fund

Gifts to the Campus Enrichment Fund are unrestricted gifts made by donors who wish to support campus-wide initiatives rather than specific projects. These “flexible” dollars allow President Bruce Shepard and Provost Dennis Murphy to fund immediate needs and encourages innovation and creativity among faculty, staff and students.

Your gift to the Campus Enrichment Fund will help provide scholarships for National Merit Finalists and other merit and need based awards; fund teaching awards that annually recognize top educators; make available grants for faculty and students to attend conferences to present their research and interact with colleagues from across the country; fund community outreach events such as the Distinguished Lecture Series which each year brings three noted speakers to campus; and provide resources for curriculum and programmatic innovations across campus.

By contributing to the Campus Enrichment Fund, you are supporting the entire Western Washington University campus community. You are placing your confidence in both faculty and students and helping them achieve their professional and academic goals. These unrestricted dollars are vitally important and truly help keep Western in the forefront of undergraduate education.
