Major Gifts  Your support of Connecticut College can transform
the campus, take an initiative to a new level or make a
student's personal dream come true.  Major gifts can renovate
classrooms, provide seed money for student enterprises or build
a new fitness center. They can also create endowed funds that
provide support in perpetuity for named professorships or
scholarships, student research, internships and international
travel, library purchases or a number of other campus
initiatives.  These gifts are often made in honor or memory of a
family member, friend or favorite professor. The College's 44
endowed professorships, for example, include chairs named for
Nobel Prize-winners Wangari Maathai and Elie Wiesel; former
Presidents Katharine Blunt, Rosemary Park and Oakes Ames; and
alumni Karla Heurich Harrison '28, Joanne Toor Cummings '50 and
Jean C. Tempel '65.  There are many ways to fund major gifts.
