Alumnae Support:
Approximately 18% of CSM alumnae gave an unrestricted or restricted gift to the university. Alumnae support is important to the university in three primary ways:

·        A)Annual national higher education institution ratings, which prospective students often use in choosing a university, are based in part on alumnae percentage giving;

·        B) CSM relies on private foundation support for many of its programs and new opportunities and alumnae percentage giving is viewed by foundations as an indication of the value alumnae place on their education

·        C) Annual, unrestricted alumnae support greatly assists CSM in addressing priorities – the primary one of which is financial assistance for our students.
