Your Gift Matters

Your support helps students pay for enlightening experiences through internships and study abroad. With the help of donors, anthropology student Colin Gravelle worked as a summer intern for the American Museum of Natural History in New York. Gravelle, a Humanities and Social Sciences Dean’s Scholar, says the internship opened his eyes to new possibilities: “I feel like I’ve not only learned a lot about cultures … but also the overarching field itself.”
