The Parents Phonathon is operated by the Office of Annual Giving.  Questions may be addressed to Marie Ruddock at 724-357-5555.  For general information about Giving to IUP, please see www.iup.edu/giving.

The Foundation for IUP is a 501(c)3 organization; gifts to the Foundation are tax deductible.

Each year, parents of IUP students make a difference in the experience of every IUP student with their gift to the Annual Fund.

It’s true that tuition and state budget money do not cover all the needs of the 14,000 + students at IUP. Gifts from parents, friends, and alumni enhance the students’ academic experience beyond what tuition and state budgets can provide.

	Did you know? Cogswell Hall has been newly renovated and transformed into an airy, updated space more suitable to the level of instruction IUP musicians receive. With firm footing in technology and industry trends as well as classical instruction, IUP’s music department offers its students experimental learning in many ways. IUP is the only university in Pennsylvania or New York to be selected as a regional training for WebCT, a program that develops academic courses for Internet delivery. More than 200 on-campus courses incorporate Web technology in course delivery and support. More than 800 seats in various campus computer labs are available, with 24-hour computer labs available throughout campus. IUP students are awarded over $1 million a year in scholarship funds from the Foundation for IUP.			…and IUP is able to keep pace with the future.  The entire student experience is enhanced! You can provide support for these vital resources and let your student know that he or she is your “Shining Star.”  Acknowledge his special achievement, recognize her hard work, or just let your student know you are thinking of them.  We will send the student you designate a “Shining Star” certificate.  You may also acknowledge his or her efforts by placing a bookplate in a library book, or by dedicating a tree in the IUP Arboretum.  You may designate your gift to the Student Experience Fund for areas of greatest need.  Or you may want to designate your gift for the Eric Slebodnik Memorial Scholarship for History. Eric was an IUP student who was killed in the line of duty in Iraq.  Please consider a gift to the Parents Campaign.  We all have a common goal for our children…an outstanding education.
