Ways to Give

Investing in the College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters Means Investing in the Future

At the College of Arts, Sciences, and Letters, every gift makes a difference.

We are deeply grateful to our donors, alumni, friends, and community partners who believe in the power of a liberal arts education to shape thoughtful leaders, engaged citizens, and creative problem-solvers.

Your support fuels scholarships, hands-on research, global learning, faculty excellence, and community engagement across more than 50 academic programs. From lab discoveries to digital storytelling, from social justice initiatives to data-driven innovation, your generosity empowers our students to explore widely, think critically, and act meaningfully.

Gifts from alumni and friends also help bridge the gap between state support, tuition, and the true cost of delivering a world-class education. And the impact extends far beyond campus—nearly 80% of our graduates stay in southeastern Michigan, contributing their talents to local businesses, schools, and organizations.

When CASL students graduate, they carry with them not just knowledge but purpose. Thank you for investing in their success and in the future of our region.

Methods of Giving

Look to Michigan Banner

The University of Michigan-Dearborn provides an enriching, practice-based education that embodies the power of the Block M, with a steadfast commitment to the well-being of metro Detroit. From the beginning, we have distinguished ourselves in higher education through purposeful, mutually beneficial partnerships with local industries, governments and community organizations, creating a tangible impact.

The Look to Michigan Campaign, our most ambitious to date, aims to propel our strategic initiatives and unite our campus community around four key priorities: Student Experience and Success, Faculty and Staff Distinction, Holistic Excellence, and Economic Sustainability. At the core of these priorities are our unwavering commitments to the arts and diversity, equity and inclusion, which underscore every initiative within the campaign.

Here in CASL, we’re committed to supporting our Leaders and Best. Our goal is to empower the difference-makers of tomorrow to thrive and pursue their dreams. We believe that education should be affordable, accessible, and achievable for all. Through this commitment, we prepare the next generation of change-makers while working to build more sustainable, inclusive, and thriving communities on campus and far beyond.
