Your Opportunities for Giving
USI Annual Fund

There is always extraordinary need for unrestricted funds which provide the
University with the flexibility to meet its highest priorities and most urgent
needs. The USI Foundation's Board of Directors determines how Annual Fund monies
are spent.
"Unrestricted support through giving to the Annual Fund helps USI respond
to rapidly changing times and shifting priorities. Our generous donors have
helped build a strong University and USI students are the first to benefit."
President Linda L. M. Bennett
