Some options include: University Priority Fund, which supports the greatest needs of the University. Annual Fund, which supports student scholarships. School/College Priority Fund, which provides the dean with the ability to respond quickly to emerging opportunities, transform the student experience, and strengthen operational capacity. The University’s 22 athletic sports teams. On Double Dawg Day last year, The Godbold College of Business won the Farthest Away Challenge by receiving a gift from someone who was the farthest distance to campus. Join the fun as special recognitions and challenges are made throughout the day. Be the first to make a donation at 12:01 a.m., or support your favorite Runnin’ Bulldog team to win a challenge. Matching donations are made possible thanks to the generosity of other donors.
