Elevate Lumberjack Community, Wellness, Academic & Career Purpose

Your support helps create the kind of environment where every Lumberjack can succeed—both in and out of the classroom.

Gifts to community-focused programs like First Scholars and Bettin & Blavin Scholars foster a strong sense of belonging, connecting students to peers, mentors, and opportunities that keep them motivated and on track. 

Support for wellness initiatives like Louie’s Cupboard, Louie Care, and LEAF Grants ensures students have access to food, emergency resources, and critical assistance when they need it most—removing barriers so they can focus on their education. 

At the same time, programs like Thrive and Career Development equip students with the skills, experiences, and guidance needed to confidently pursue their future. Together, these areas of impact help students persist, graduate, and step into their purpose—because of donors who choose to elevate Lumberjacks.
