ARE YOU UP FOR THE CHALLENGE!

At the beginning of every year, UE sends out a strong message to its students, challenging them to make the most out of their college experience as they embark on a new school year. By studying hard, getting involved, making great friends and lasting memories, students every year live up to the UE Challenge.

Now we are challenging UE parents to do the same. During the 2008-2009 school year, we are challenging all parents to go above and beyond and make a commitment to UE students. As the parent of a UE student, you have a significant impact on your child’s college experience and on their classmates.

Revenue from tuition and fees covers only 88% of the total cost to educate UE students. Since the University of Evansville is not a state-supported school, students rely greatly on gifts to bridge the gap between tuition and the cost of their education. Gifts received from the Parents’ Fund campaign enable UE to offer programs, scholarships, extra educational opportunities and resources that may not be otherwise available.

With the start of the 2008-2009 fiscal year, the Parents’ Fund sub-committee established an annual fundraising goal of $35,000.  Let’s work together to surpass that goal so that our UE students receive the best education possible.  Parents, we are initiating the UE Challenge – PLEASE SHOW YOUR SUPPORT TODAY!!

By contributing to the Parents’ Fund, we can collectively support the educational endeavors put forth by our children and all other students.  Every gift to the Parents’ Fund, no matter the size, is meaningful and very much appreciated.  To make a gift to UE, simply complete the enclosed pledge card and return it with your gift in the envelope provided, or you can make your gift online at www.evansville.edu/givingtoue. 

Thank you for your support and dedication to the University of Evansville.

Sincerely,

       Debra Armstrong
