As we strive to grow the Center’s reach and impact, we are asking alumni, parents, and friends to consider gifts to the following areas: degree completion support, first-generation student success, endowed program fund, endowed positions and space.

Gifts to this fund could be used to advance initiatives such as establishing a student-alumni mentoring program, launching a speaker series focused on various facets of student success, and expanding support and recognition of Penn State's first-generation student population.
