university development

There is a true sense on our campus that we are on the brink of something BIG. Bold ideas have taken root and we are moving into our second century with a confidence and self-assurance that is contagious. Our students notice, our alumni notice, and most importantly, we proudly take ownership of our mission. Our focus is clear – to keep an education at YSU affordable, attainable, and competitive for our constituency.

Thanks to your generosity, our Annual Fund has been growing at record levels. We hope that the spirit and pride generated by our Centennial anniversary in 2008 will lead our Annual Fund to the one million dollar mark for the first time in YSU’s history.With your support, that goal can become a reality – and insure the continued provision of academic and economic opportunities for our students and our community. We are proud of our institution and ask that you consider a gift to Youngstown State University or the YSU Foundation.
