The Parents in Partnership program provides the parents of UW students with the opportunity to support their child’s academic experience by contributing to important fundraising initiatives. This year, parents and student fundraisers rallied behind the Library’s Kresge Challenge campaign. Funds raised will provide students with updated library facilities designed to best serve their study needs. The partnership between the parents, the student fundraisers, and UW has contributed significantly to the campaign’s success.
Student fundraisers, such as second year Biotechnology/ Chartered Accountancy student, Wen Liao, are enthusiastic when it comes to having the opportunity to connect with the UW parent community. "Talking with the UW parents is great," explains Liao. "I really enjoy raising money for the Kresge Challenge because I know it will benefit every student on campus, including myself. We can all appreciate having access to newer library facilities that offer us the support we need for our studies."
This year, over $300,000 in parent contributions were designated to the Challenge, making it the most popular initiative in Parents in Partnership history.
