Supporting LSSU Students

The mission is to advance Lake Superior State University by promoting awareness of institutional priorities and securing, managing, and stewarding private gifts and contributions that support the University’s academic, student, and capital needs beyond those met by state and federal funding.

Through coordinated engagement with alumni, friends, faculty, staff, corporations, organizations, and private foundations, this work supports both annual and long-term initiatives that strengthen the University and its impact.
