Guthrie House with the words UW Giving Day

Give to Honors

Giving Day 2024 - Coming soon!

Join us on October 23rd at noon for UW Giving Day! Check back at our Honors Giving Day Campaign on October 23rd to give!

 

Can you believe that UW is celebrating its tenth Giving Day? This year’s theme is "The Power of 10," and by joining us, you’ll be part of a community supporting today’s students and tomorrow’s leaders.In the Honors College, every student matters to us, whether it’s one, ten, or a hundred. We’re committed to helping each student reach their highest potential. We value curiosity, interdisciplinarity, and community as essential elements for empowering students to pursue their educational dreams. Just imagine what $10 could do to support one student in their journey!

Join us on Giving Day, October 23, starting at noon. We need your help to make a difference for our students. Please mark your calendar and consider the Honors College in your donation.

Every dollar counts more than ever this year! In a friendly competition for the most donors, we’ve challenged the Haub School and the UW Art Museum. The group with the fewest donors will host a pizza party for the winners. The stakes are high: dependent upon the losing team, either Dean John Koprowski, Dean Peter Parolin, or Director Nicole Crawford will don an inflatable dinosaur costume to host the party. Help us save Dean Parolin from this fate!

Why give to Honors? Your contributions strengthen our ability to deliver the highest quality educational, research, and outreach opportunities to Wyoming and the world. There are many ways to give, including to the Honors College General Fund and the Duncan and Janice Harris Excellence Fund. Private giving is fundamental to UW and to the Honors College. It is the margin of excellence that helps UW students shine, giving them scholarship support, cutting-edge technology and equipment, and exceptional learning opportunities. Your investment impacts each student. UW Honors appreciates each and every gift you give.
