CBE Student Emergency Fund

Within our CBE community this unexpected and sudden crisis has put great strain on our students that has led to a cascading effect of significant challenges. Thus far, we have seen a very real increased emotional strain on our students and student-based programs as they navigate evolving logistics, technology, travel issues, and housing concerns. We are working hard to support our students and build up our student-based programs but we continue to face growing financial need. Here are a few examples of how our students and student-based programs are being impacted: 

• Our students are feeling the impact of visa restrictions and those with work study hours in physical spaces are now without hourly wages; 

• CEP, our fully student designed and lead major, isn’t able to raise basic programmatic funds due to lack of events;

• Study abroad programs have been cancelled, and many of our international students are feeling the impacts of visa restrictions; and

• Design build studios have been impacted, especially for our graduating students who are working to build and expand their professional portfolios.

In recognition of the abrupt strain that our students and student-based programs are currently facing, we are asking you to support our College of Built Environments Student Emergency Fund. 

By making a gift to support the Student Emergency Fund, CBE can direct flexible funding to where it is needed most - to help our students and student-based programs through this immediate short-term funding gap as well as ease the long-term secondary effects.

We appreciate your consideration and generosity to help our student community remain strong.
