Endowment funds, privately contributed philanthropic gifts,
play an
important role in both public and private institutions of higher
learning. As resources for higher education increasingly fluctuate and
sometimes dwindle, endowment efforts are making a critical difference
in many universities. Awareness of this fact led the Department to
establish an endowment policy based upon privately contributed gifts
prudently invested as trust funds. The interest generated from these
trust funds is used to carry out the objectives of the gifts in
perpetuity. Many alumni, faculty members, and friends of the Department
have realized this vital need throughout the years and their generous
support has greatly assisted the Department in its continuing efforts
to maintain excellence in its academic endeavors.
