The College of Arts, Sciences, and Education invites you to join us in supporting the Ferris Cares Opportunity Scholarship in the College of Arts, Sciences, and Education Fund. Despite its lengthy name, the mission of this fund is straightforward: to assist students facing unforeseen financial obstacles that could hinder their academic journey. Last year, this fund provided over $10,000 in support to students, ensuring they could stay on track towards their educational goals. However, due to the significant demand and the depletion of funds, it's crucial to replenish the fund to continue offering this vital support to our students. Witnessing underprivileged, underrepresented, and first-generation students thrive thanks to the generosity of this fund is not only rewarding but also a testament to the core values upon which our institution was founded. Your contribution can make a profound impact on the lives of our students, helping them overcome financial barriers and achieve academic success. Join us in making a difference today!

Support MoSO Today! Since opening in 2015, the MoSO (Museum of Sexist Objects), has done important work to raise awareness about the many, often insidious, ways that sexism operates not only in American society, but the world over. We are proud of our recent LGBTQ+ and Masculinity cases and look forward to building two new exhibits on Period Shaming and the Pink Tax. Both are student inspired. Our biggest event this year was our collaboration with the Ferris Fine Art Gallery to present an exhibit called "Much Ado about Barbie." It received extensive press coverage and involved collaboration with both Kendall College and Piper Adonya, the creator of "Black Barbie" graphics. The MoSO Barbies we displayed were purchased with your generous contributions. Thank you for your support over the years!

It is my privilege to work with students with disabilities as they go through their academic journey. The best part of my job is seeing the growth of students as they mature and become the adults that they want to be. The heartbreaking part of my job is seeing the added barriers that students with disabilities go through. Many of these are access barriers that we work through with accommodations, but the added financial barriers are often overlooked. I work with many students who have significant concerns about medical bills and lack of insurance coverage to pay for needed treatment. Some are concerned about the cost of needed medical equipment. Many students are not able to take a full load of classes, rendering them ineligible for many types of financial aid. These are just a few of the reasons that a scholarship designated for students with disabilities is so crucial to for students to access education. This year, I am asking you to help support these students and make a major impact in their lives. I greatly appreciate your support.

Support the Bulldog Math Center! The Mathematics Department at Ferris State University wants to offer an additional resource to support our students in their math courses on campus by creating an inclusive and safe space for all students to ask questions, learn, and improve their confidence and skills in a subject that is often feared by many. Many institutions have tutoring centers that focus on math only. Creating a space such as this here at Ferris would encourage students to frequently visit the Mathematics Department where faculty offices are also conveniently located. Between creating this center, encouraging positive and productive interactions between students/tutors/faculty, and your support, we can further assist our students as they work towards their degrees!

Nearly 20% of college students report having a disability, but many do not go on to complete their degrees due to institutional barriers, including financial barriers. 25% of college students with disabilities leave college after one year compared to 14% of those without disabilities. Students with disabilities can choose to take a reduced course load, but that often means reduced financial and fewer scholarship opportunities. The longer time to degree also means more college debt and lost wages. By supporting this scholarship, you are helping to decrease these barriers. Thank you for supporting this fundraising effort.

Latin@ Alumni Association

As the Chair of the Ferris State University Latin@ Alumni Association (FSULAA), it has been an honor to serve for the students and alumni. Established in 2022 by a group of students, the FSULAA helps bring current Latino students and alumni together to connect at networking and mentoring opportunities. I graduated in the Spring of 2021 with a Bachelor's in Criminal Justice and a Minor in Public Advocacy. As a recent graduate, there was a lack of Latino alumni presence within the Latino community at Ferris. The opportunity of becoming the Chair of the association had came to me where I knew there could be impactful and positive change for alumni and undergraduates. Throughout the past couple of years, the FSULAA has provided students mentorship programs which aim to provide guidance for personal and professional development. To ensure student success. The FSULAA has also brought out alumni across the state to connect and create a comfortable networking environment. With your gift, we can continue to create opportunities for students and alumni. It will have an immediate impact on the programming and events. Help us make a difference today for Latin@ Bulldog students at Ferris State by supporting One Day for Dawgs! ¡Muchas Gracias!
