College of Arts & Sciences Dean's Fund

As the intellectual core of the university, CU’s College of Arts and Sciences (A&S) generates new knowledge in more than 60 fields, working to solve some of the world’s most critical problems while enriching our culture and self-understanding.

The College of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Fund has one purpose: funding the most urgent and pressing needs of the college. It is A&S’s most flexible and far-reaching fund that allows the Dean to use as needs arise. These funds allow the Dean to quickly respond in crucial situations, and even a small amount can make a difference. Funds go toward student support, student research, A&S programming, faculty development and acquisition, building improvements, and/or emerging A&S initiatives. By supporting the Dean’s fund, you are helping provide flexibility to the College, and broadly supporting all things A&S.

The Dean’s Fund also supports opportunities that contribute in many ways to student success and cutting-edge research. Over the past year, gifts to this fund allowed the Dean’s office to incentivize faculty excellence, build a new course that incorporates local internships, and award gap scholarships for students facing unplanned needs. Every dollar is an investment in student success!
