Your Support Helps Future Business Leaders Philanthropy

Travis Finney

Dear CWU College of Business Alumni, I hope this letter finds you well and filled with pride for the impact your philanthropy and alumni engagement have on students at the College of Business. Our Wildcat family has shown exceptional resilience in the face of challenges. With compassion, grit, and determination, the CB community has rallied to support our students in extraordinary ways. The CB emergency fund provided almost $25,000 to more than 30 students, surpassing the combined 14 grants awarded in the previous two years. These grants help students overcome obstacles such as lost employment, unexpected health expenses, and inadequate technology for remote learning. Our donors also raised over $175,000 in scholarships, nearly doubling the average scholarship award to more than $3,300, which covers 43% of in-state tuition and fees. Janet Britt, a student who exemplifies the spirit of giving back, established the Giving Back Business Scholarship Fund. The endowed scholarship will perpetually support future CB students. Her dedication to fellow students is an inspiring example of the impact a person can have on the lives of others. Your continued support and engagement are crucial to providing exceptional education and opportunities for future generations of business leaders. Please do not hesitate to contact me anytime to assist you and facilitate meaningful connections. #CWUTogether Warm regards, Travis Finney, Director of Development, College of Business
