Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ

As we approach the culmination of the Fill the Western Sky comprehensive campaign, Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓƵ is taking a thoughtful moment to reflect on the progress we’ve made and to realign our focus on the campaign’s most strategic priorities.

As part of this process, we will begin to wind down the 1889 Impact Grant Program. Since its inception, the program has sparked creativity, supported innovation, and empowered faculty and staff to launch projects that have truly enhanced our campus and student experience. We are deeply proud of its impact and grateful to everyone who helped bring it to life.

While the program is being paused for now, we remain open to revisiting it in the future as institutional philanthropic priorities evolve. The spirit of the 1889 Impact Grant—bold ideas making a difference—will continue to inspire our work.

Looking ahead, we’re excited to concentrate on initiatives that align closely with the goals of the campaign and continue to elevate the experience of our students, faculty, and community.

Thank you to our donors, faculty, and staff for your continued commitment. To learn more about the Fill the Western Sky campaign and what’s next, please visit .
