The past support of Sewanee friends has made the University resilient by building a helpful endowment. That said, new gifts for financial aid are critical for both the present and future of the institutions. Sewanee only thrives through  the partnership of many friends who recognize our immediate need and support this extraordinary place. A new overarching priority is addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion at Sewanee, which encompasses priorities of financial aid, faculty teaching, and preparing students for success. Read in this section for stories of people who have helped both students and the institution they love through their gifts.
