The Need for Private Support

The State of California provides the foundation for the university, but it currently provides only one-third of the university’s budget. Continued preeminence requires private donations to

• open the doors of opportunity to the most talented students, regardless of their financial means
• recruit and support the brightest graduate students
• enhance the undergraduate learning environment
• provide support for faculty research and teaching
• create new programs at the interface of the chemical sciences with the other sciences and engineering.

The College of Chemistry carries with it the challenge of not only maintaining excellence in an exciting academic and educational environment , but also of expanding knowledge and advancing society through education and research.

Every gift from every donor helps the college to fulfill this mission.
