Giving
Support the School of Arts & Sciences
Learn, Discover, Heal, Create—and Make the World Ever Better
A strong liberal arts education is at the heart of the School of Arts & Sciences, and at the University of Rochester. For us, this means teaching more than the arts and humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences—it means sparking curiosity, a thirst for knowledge, and a drive to address and solve problems that cut across disciplines.
We are steadfast in our commitment to our students and our faculty, and to providing a world-class academic and research experience. Please join us—gifts of any size help us make the world ever better.
Ways to Help
Your generosity can support:
- Scholarships and fellowships
- Professorships
- Student and faculty research
- Experiential learning opportunities (for study abroad, internships, and more)
- Capital improvements (for equipment and classroom/lab space)
Consider giving of your time and talents as well. We have volunteer opportunities available and welcome the chance to connect you with our outstanding students, faculty, and staff. Join others in supporting the School of Arts & Sciences and making the University ever better.
Join the George Eastman Circle
Please consider joining the George Eastman Circle (GEC), the University’s leadership annual giving society.

These gifts can also be directed to a specific academic department by noting designation to the dean’s fund for your preferred department.
