Your Gifts are Important to Us!
As the Department of Mathematics continually works to improve the quality of its programs, one of our major goals is to increase the amount of money available for departmental student activities and support. Annual alumni contributions, no matter what the amount, are very important to our efforts in this area. We thank those of you who have helped support the Mathematics Department by specifying that your University gifts be directed to us and hope that all of our alumni will consider designating the department as the recipient of future gifts.
