Making a contribution to the Cleveland State University Annual Fund not only provides educational accessibility for students, but also ensures institutional excellence that will maintain the reputation of your degree. We understand that as a young alumnus/na money can be tight with student loan payments, a new job, new adult purchases, and maybe even graduate school. The good news is that you don’t have to give a lot to make an impact. Why not start by celebrating you? Donate in honor of your class year, for example $20.10 for those that graduated in 2010. That’s less than you probably spend for a night out on the town, so why not give back.
