91ÇÑ×Ó

The first round of crowdfunding has launched with the following projects: 91ÇÑ×Ó Rodeo roping chute, Biking USA, Social Work conference, scholarships for Rising Sophomores, and 91ÇÑ×Ó women’s wrestling.

The Rodeo team is raising funds for a new roping chute since the current one is 13 years old and needs replaced.

Biking USA is a group of students and faculty who plan to bike across the U.S. in the summer of 2022. Along the 4,000-mile route, students will complete a multidisciplinary capstone project encompassing their 91ÇÑ×Ó education and experiences from the trip. Funds will help students with trip expenses and compensate them for missing a summer of work.

The third project is the 2021 Social Work Conference on Forgiveness Nov. 3. Donors have supported past conferences and the senior students in Social Work hope the new platform will open the opportunity to others.

Scholarships for Rising Sophomores is a fund to provide scholarship support for students who have gone above and beyond in a variety of categories during their freshman year. Award winners are nominated by faculty, staff, or peers.

The fifth project supports the recently announced 91ÇÑ×Ó women’s wrestling program with support for scholarships and equipment.
