At the University of Minnesota Duluth we are grateful for the gifts we receive from alumni and friends like you. The links below are highlights of students who have benefited from a private gift or scholarship. Your generosity makes a difference in the lives of these talented, hard working students.
I am particularly grateful that private giving increased more than 30% during the fiscal year of July 1, 2011 – June 30, 2012 in comparison to the previous year. We value your gifts and are especially appreciative that giving increased so substantially during what is still a difficult economic time for many people.
Thank you and best wishes,
Lendley “Lynn” Black
Chancellor
