Gifts to College of the Environment and Life Sciences contribute to...
Your support for our students and faculty ensures our land‑ and sea‑grant mission can address the needs of local, regional, and global communities. The College of the Environment and Life Sciences encourages gifts to two priority funds: RhodyNow: College of the Environment and Life Sciences, which provides flexible support for student success, teaching, and research, and the CELS Fellowship Operating Fund, which expands hands‑on, experiential learning opportunities for students.
Donors may also support other CELS funds, including Cooperative Extension programs; the Friends of Landscape Architecture Fund; the Departments of Marine Affairs, Plant Sciences, and Resource Economics; the Sustainable Agriculture Research and Geosciences Field Study Funds; RhodyNow: Metcalf Institute; and Marine Biology Undergraduate Research, or search for any fund of interest. All gifts to CELS count toward participation goals, with challenge gift opportunities noted below.
Thank you for your support!
