My Project

Our historic campus includes a large courtyard with a grass quad.

We are seeking funding for outdoor lawn benches to enhance our campus quad, creating a welcoming and inclusive space for students to relax, study, and connect with one another.

These benches and tables will promote a sense of community, encouraging social interactions and providing a comfortable environment for collaboration and creativity. Your support will help foster a warm and affirming atmosphere that enriches the student experience here.
