Your gifts secured UAlbany’s mission of providing a life-changing education to hardworking, ambitious students, and reinforced our university as a force for positive change.

Its success is a big step in building the culture of philanthropy that UAlbany needs and deserves, and should make us all excited about the University’s future.”
