The
Giving Tree Purpose

The purpose of the Giving Tree is to allow donors to support the Multicultural Center as a Brave Space for our students. Funds will be used to support student programming, and professional and personal development and other needs of the center. Donations will foster a sense of inclusion, equity, and belonging for our students and allow for continuous community building, engagement, and learning opportunities.
