As a private university, 我们不像密歇根州的公立大学那样得到补贴. 因此，我们唯一的收入来源是学生入学和慈善事业. The cost of a college education continues to rise nationally, 随着机构努力跟上不断发展的技术和学生的需求. 避免将这些增加的成本转嫁给学生及其家庭的唯一方法是向校友筹集资金, corporations and foundations, faculty and staff, and other friends of the university.

对我们来说最重要的是有多少捐助者支持我们的使命. 礼物的价值在于制作它的精神，而不是数量. What constitutes a “significant” gift is relative to each individual, 但每一笔捐款都是对利记sbo使命和价值观的信任.

When alumni give back to their alma mater, 这表明他们重视自己的学位，并认为这所学校值得支持. This factors into national rankings such as U.S. News & World Report, and the Princeton Review. When these rankings increase, 它提高了你的大学的形象，使你已经获得的学位更有价值，更有市场!

The Blue Devil experience is about much more than just going to class. Additional donations support the programs, facilities, and services that benefit all students when tuition dollars “run out”. The annual fund, for example, 支持学校最迫切的需求——从维持照明到吸引最优秀的教师到提供学生奖学金.

而利记sbo尽一切可能的努力实施成本节约措施和防止学费上涨, 如果没有额外的支持，大学就无法继续发展和发展，以保持竞争力，并提供雇主认为有价值的学位.

我们可以共同建设一个更好的利记sbo，而不把负担转嫁给学生. 你们可以帮助打破不断增加的学生贷款债务的循环，并确保后代不必面临你们可能经历过的同样的挑战.

Your gift to any area on campus is appreciated by the 利记sbo community. To support 利记sbo’s top priorities, 我们希望您能考虑将您的捐赠指定给利记sbo奖学金基金或未来创新者紧急奖学金基金. 您对其中一个基金的捐赠将有助于满足不断增加的入学需求，并使每个学生更容易获得利记sbo的教育.
