The College of Arts and Sciences raised over $10 million through the generosity of nearly 11,000 donors in its efforts during ISU’s five-year Redefining "normal" fundraising campaign. Through this effort, the College has made great advances toward securing the funding necessary to fulfill its goals: to provide the best liberal arts and sciences education in the state, to produce nationally and internationally recognized research and scholarship, and to engage in public service and continuing education activities. "The success of this campaign is measured in more than dollars and cents," explained Director of Development Dorothy M. Witte. "Each gift serves as an endorsement of our value and an investment in our future. Whatever the donor's relationship to this institution, their contribution sends a clear message of the importance of higher education in their lives and those yet to come."

Hopefully this scholarship will help other history students learn from and with as great a mentor as I had while at Illinois State University.”
