The College of Engineering's giving drive to support students during COVID-19 kicks off tomorrow, Sept. 15.

50 For Our Future is a two-day drive to raise $50,000 for each department and key programs in the College of Engineering with the goal of enhancing the student experience during COVID-19.

The drive will take place Sept. 15 and 16. Gifts can be made at fundrazor.uark.edu/50ForOurFuture.

Each department will have the discretion to use the money in areas where their students need it most, whether that means purchasing laptops so students can complete remote work, enhancing course materials to improve the student experience, or responding to specific financial needs when they arise. 

Gifts can be directed to the following areas:

• Biological and Agricultural Engineering
• Biomedical Engineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Computer Science and Computer Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Industrial Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• The U of A Chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers
• The Interdisciplinary Data Science Program

To make a gift before the 15th, visit onlinegiving.uark.edu, select the College of Engineering in section one, and write "50 For Our Future" and the area you'd like to support in the comments in section four.

For questions about giving, contact Bill Lansden, senior director of development and external relations, at blansden@uark.edu.
