Alumni & Giving

Your support of the Department of Urban and Public Affairs has a direct and meaningful impact on students preparing for careers in public service. Nearly all gifts are used to reduce financial barriers for students from funding partial scholarships for graduate students to helping provide paid internship or work study opportunities for undergraduate students. Donations also help sustain student life and professional growth through support for the Urban and Public Affairs Student Association (UPASA), including networking events, speaker series and community-building activities.  

Every contribution helps students focus on active participation rather than cost. By giving to this department, you are investing in the next generation of planners, public administrators and sustainability leaders committed to strengthening communities and public institutions.
