UWL Fund

The UWL Fund makes it possible for the university to respond to the campus' most pressing needs, offers flexibility to take advantage of unique opportunities, and be prepared to handle unexpected needs arises.

The UWL Fund allows small gifts to add up. 

Alumni giving to the UWL Fund says graduates believe in the education they received and the UWL mission. 

Giving is a vote of confidence in the continued work on campus.
