Utica University’s mission relies upon the continuous pursuit of excellence in the classroom and in the world. Philanthropic support enhances our faculty’s ability to develop new research and deliver innovative instruction across disciplines, enriching the academic experience and positioning Utica College as a trailblazer on a national stage.

Projects Supporting Innovation :

  • Endowed professorships to advance teaching and scholarly activity, benefit the intellectual life of the university, and promote students’ learning in a particular field of study.
  • Endowed institutes that allow for the focused study of one emerging area or field and help position the University as a nationwide thought-leader.
  • Endowed scholarships that permanently provide support to deserving and outstanding students.

A key component of Utica University’s mission is to foster a rich diversity of perspective, background, and experience. Only in creating an equitable, inclusive community can we thrive as individuals. Contributions from donors will help create spaces for students, faculty, and staff to come together—physically and metaphorically—in the pursuit of knowledge and a greater understanding of our collective place in society. 

Projects Supporting Community :

  • Community Greenhouse, a teaching tool and gathering place promoting sustainable agriculture on campus.
  • Unity Promenade, a visual landmark where students, faculty, and staff can reflect on social justice.

In classrooms, research laboratories, and on the playing field, Utica University students make discoveries with the power to impact the world. Support from donors will provide greater opportunities for students to explore their full potential through career-driven internships and immersive learning experiences, preparing graduates to take on complex global challenges and become tomorrow’s leaders.

Projects Supporting Discovery :

  • Utica University Science Center, a 25,000-square foot expansion to the Gordon Science Center containing state-of-the-art laboratories and classrooms for science education.
  • Experiential and immersive learning initiatives, dynamic educational opportunities to promote career-readiness.

Since its founding, Utica University has strived to make education accessible to learners from all backgrounds. Today, ensuring accessibility remains a pillar of Utica’s strategic plan. Philanthropic support will enhance the University’s ability to recruit top students of all racial and ethnic identities regardless of financial means, and foster athletic and academic achievement in the state-of-the-art facilities today’s students need.
