Support SLIS
Last year, graduates of UK SLIS donated over $19,000 and this year our goal is $30,000!
There are a variety of SLIS funds you can contribute to. This fall we will be asking for donations to two specific funds:
Lois Mai Chan SLIS Student Enrichment Fund was established by Deanna Marcum (SLIS/1971) to honor Dr. Lois Mai Chan and her 40 plus years service to the School and its students. Dr. Chan retired in December 2011. When endowed, funds may be used by the School for scholarships, student travel to professional meetings or student internship programs, poster and paper presentations. To make a gift by credit card go to: http://www.uky.edu/GiveNow/welcome.htm?select=CI and select the Fund name.
The SLIS Fund for Excellence supports technology enhancement needs, student and alumni events and student travel to professional conferences.
The Anne Y. McConnell Fund benefits the enrichment of programs in the School, particularly in the field of children’s literature and services.
You are also welcome to make a gift to any other fund in the School. You can make your donation online and see a list of funds for the School at http://www.uky.edu/GiveNow/welcome.htm?select=CI
