Giving to Briggs
Your generous giving plays a vital role in supporting Lyman Briggs College as a national model for undergraduate residential learning communities that interconnects Science, Mathematics and the History, Philosophy and Sociology of Science (HPS).
Standing on our own as a college we need to secure the resources that will allow us to maintain excellence and innovation in instructional/research facilities, academic program and student scholarship support. Our ability to develop financial resources is a critical source of our future success.
