Founders' Day of Giving - Education

Today, as we march toward the 150th anniversary of our institution, we invite you to honor your time at URG by supporting the transformative initiative, the Anniversary Hall Classroom Technology Project. This ambitious project is not just about bricks and mortar; it is about investing in the future of education and ensuring that the next generation of educators has the tools, resources, and inspiration they need to succeed. A generous anonymous donor will give a $50,000 gift after 50 donations have been made to this fund between September 11-13. This will allow us to improve our Anniversary Hall, which houses the School of Education! Make your gift to help us unlock the funds!

It is important to note that the last time the classrooms were updated was in 2003. With advancements in technology and changes in educational pedagogy, it is essential that we modernize our facilities to meet the evolving needs of our students and faculty. Your support for the Anniversary Hall of Education Students will directly impact the lives of students and faculty at Rio. Your generosity will help create dynamic learning spaces, equip classrooms with state-of-the-art technology, and provide resources to support student success. See below for examples of needs, as collected from our education faculty.
