Since becoming the Development Director for the College of Business nearly three years ago, Wildcat family resilience is something I have come to know and appreciate. While challenges are common for anyone working to attain a college education, this year has been exceptional in the challenges it presented. Empowered by compassion, fortitude, and determination, everyone at the CB came together, adapted, and rallied to support students. I am truly impressed. The Wildcat family’s response to our calls for additional funding to support the CB emergency fund and CB scholarships was incredibly generous. The direct impact of giving to these two initiatives enabled the CB to respond quickly to students in need. Your generosity is instrumental to helping students facing unforeseen hardships and difficulties. The CB emergency fund provided almost $25,000 in grants to more than 30 students, compared to a combined 14 grants awarded the previous two years. Emergencies students faced consisted of lost employment, unexpected health expenses, and lack of technology for remote study, to name a few. As for CB scholarships, donors supported over $175,000 in scholarships which allowed us to increase the average scholarship award to more than $3,300 (43 percent of in-state tuition and fees), nearly double last year’s average of $1,700. Inspired by Wildcat family resilience, I look to the future with hope and remain committed to providing a donor-centric, service-oriented approach to fundraising. As there is much to consider in making a gift to support the CB, I am here to assist you in making connections and to provide any information you may need. Please feel free to contact me any time for a confidential inquiry. #CWUTogether Call Dennis Reed at 509-963-2162 or email dennis.reed@cwu.edu.
