some areas of need
| Key faculty retention Key faculty acquisition (when a potential Pulitzer winner is interested) Unique student study opportunities Small class seminars Student self-governance support (the Honor Endowment, etc.) Increased support for the University’s undergraduate research program. Advocacy for our out-of-state alumni interests and perspective. Advocacy for a continued high rate of out-of-state admissions, pursuant to Mr. Jefferson’s intent that youth from everywhere have the opportunity “to come to drink from the cup of knowledge” at the University. Expert scholar visitation. |
Support for the University’s governmental
relations activities. Support for Club and Intramural sports programs. Enhancement of existing annual achievement awards for students, faculty, staff and alumni. Academical village preservation (existing efforts struggle to meet need) Madison House support. (Madison House engages thousands of students in community service and outreach.) Support of prestigious scholarship counseling (such as Rhodes, Truman, etc.) International student support (few existing sources currently) |
The Jefferson Trust will strive to support such initiatives on
a case-by-case basis as they arise and as its resources allow.
We believe funding these types of initiatives create the
margin of excellence required to achieve Mr. Jefferson’s
vision for his University.
