Lewis College of Science and Letters Board of Advisors Challenge

Every gift helps Lewis College of Science and Letter go further in achieving our vision for the future. If 50 donors give to Lewis on Giving Day, we will unlock an additional $11,000 for the college. Special thanks to Board of Advisor members Russell Betts and Doug Monieson for sponsoring this challenge.

Why support Lewis College of Science and Letters on Giving Day?

Lewis College of Science and Letters is about project-based education, inviting students to join faculty in grappling with real-world problems to create new solutions and uncover new discoveries. Scholarship aid does exactly this, from funding our students in summer research opportunities to grapple with emergent research and inventions under the close mentorship of a faculty member, to chasing their own research questions that they may have formed in an IPRO program or a course.

Your support allows us to fund research and project opportunities for our students, which will bridge hands-on experiences with exploration. Scholarships will pay for students to work in labs, in the community, or closely with a faculty on an important social and scientific need.

Over the last year, our faculty have been crushing it! We have a new Games and Interactive Media program for those who want to design immersive environments for both leisure but also serious business, such as mental health or engineering training.

We have a new master’s degree in Sensor Science and Technology, which brings together chemistry, electrical computer engineering, business, and design to respond to the data collection needs of the future through the sensor development that we need to engage in now.

We have a world class rehabilitation psychology program—a top two program in the nation—for which the major goal is to assist a person with a disability or chronic illness to move to psychological and economic independence.
