New ways to give to CEE

Civil and Environmental Engineering

November 10, 2014

The CEE Giving page was recently updated to include more ways to give, so visitors can choose the funds that matter most to them.| Short Read

You can visit the page by clicking here.

Funds have been separated into three groups: Fellowships & Scholarships, Specialty Areas and Department. The Specialty Areas funds allow visitors to give to a certain research area. Your help today will make a difference in the world tomorrow, and will help CEE maintain the high standard of excellence that exemplifies the CEE programs at Michigan.

CEE especially encourages giving on Giving Blueday, the University’s first-ever university-wide day of giving. It coincides with Giving Tuesday (December 2, 2014), a global day of giving on the Tuesday following the Thanksgiving weekend. It’s a day for everyone who loves Michigan to join together to support students, transform lives, shape the world and make great things happen.

On this special day, you can be a victor by making a donation to the area of your choice. Gifts of every size will make a difference! Plus, on Giving Tuesday, your gift could go even further by attracting additional funds through matching gifts and challenges!

Together, we can turn Giving Tuesday into Giving Blueday!
