Library Dean's Excellence Fund

The University of Idaho Library needs your donations and so do our students! A dollar given to the University of Idaho Library is a dollar that allows us to improve the library facilities and services that are essential to the next generation of Vandal graduates. The U of I Library serves every student every day, offering spaces for team learning, resources to support global exploration and tools for prototyping innovative solutions to the society’s pressing challenges. Our world-class librarians partner with students to teach them research skills that will guide them throughout their lives.
 
Our Giving Day Goals support our strategic direction for building our capacity as Idaho’s research library. We are working to grow our donor numbers with 60 new donors (honoring the 60th anniversary of the library—one new donor for each year); and to build our endowments by matching the funds provided by the Library Advisory Board members.
 
Your financial support will allow us the opportunity to grow, explore, and truly commit to our vision of building a world-class research library for our university community.

We can't thank you enough.

For 1,889 minutes last week, Vandals from nearly every state and across the globe came together to support and celebrate the things we all love about the University of Idaho. Whether you made a gift or shared your love for U of I on social media by becoming an ambassador, the Vandal family made a statement together in raising nearly half a million dollars for our students and programs.  Thank you for the unprecedented generosity shown on Vandal Giving Day.
