Help Us Promote Our Ongoing We Are FACS Campaign

We released a new undergraduate student recruitment video, “We Are FACS,” this summer. The video and accompanying social media campaign showcase the best of our college and centers around three key themes identified via interviews with current students and alumni: the family feel of FACS, the diverse career pathways we offer and the employment opportunities available to graduates. Please consider sharing the video within your networks to help us reach as many prospective students as possible, using the hashtag #WeAreFACS. In addition, video interviews with eight students from a variety of majors are available on our  YouTube channel.

The Spirit of Giving

During the holiday season, we invite you to consider supporting the FACS Student Emergency Fund, a vital initiative that swiftly addresses urgent financial needs for enrolled students in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences facing unforeseen emergencies. Your contribution will play a crucial role in providing rapid support during emergencies, and minimizing the negative impact of financial stressors on their academic performance and personal lives. Together, we can ensure that our FACS students receive compassionate assistance during times of crises, allowing them to navigate challenges and focus on their education.
