Learn more about your impact
When you invest in the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication Enrichment Fund, you're enabling the director to provide funding for immediate academic and research priorities. You open the door to funding opportunities for conferences, travel and other expenses not allocated from general funding, as well as research support for priority projects. For instance, your support has allowed us to research improved concussion reporting and much more.
Contributions to this fund enable us to expand outreach efforts. Specifically, these efforts will help our students and new faculty to build networks, both in the academy and the community, that will pay dividends throughout their careers."
Impact of Donor Support
- More learners can pursue higher education. Thanks to our donors, more than 7,000 ASU students have received upwards of $32 million in scholarships with more than $39 million raised.
- More students succeed. ASU ranks #1 among the state’s public universities for its 86% first-year retention rate thanks in part to donor-funded student success initiatives.
- Important initiatives continue. More than $320 million in new gifts and commitments support ongoing initiatives at ASU.
- The spirit of generosity abounds. In the past year, more than 100,000 individual, corporate and foundation donors stepped forward to help the ASU community.
I believe ASU is a major life force in our community and I want to do my part to help it thrive."
