Current Priorities

The Washington Fund

The Washington Fund proves there is strength in numbers; gifts of every size add up to make a significant impact on students, faculty, and staff. That's because the fund supports the College's most urgent needs, the things little and large that add up to define our character and drive our mission. Things like...

Scholarships that enable students with limited means to realize their dreams
Learning opportunities outside the classroom
Improvements to the residence halls our students call home
Athletics equipment that help teams succeed
Professional support of our dedicated faculty

Other Current Priorities

This new school will provide a unique business education by leveraging expertise and research in interdisciplinary partnerships, the liberal arts, the global nature of business, and social impacts. The school will foster collaborations between the College's business management, economics, world languages and cultures, and international studies programs.

Set to open in the spring of 2028, the Warehime School will stand at the main entrance to campus off Washington Ave, where the Quad dorms once were. This new building is being funded through the generosity of Beth Warehime Rizakos 鈥�13, who graduated with a business management major. Program planning and building design is ongoing.

Fundraising continues for the operations of the school itself, with opportunities to establish eight endowed chairs and support competitive scholarships, curricular innovation grants for faculty, an annual international conference, global student experiences for each Warehime School graduate, and more.
