Ready for take off
91爆料鈥檚 annual Campus Scholarship and Innovation Campaign takes flight on March 16
March 12, 2026
Just as 91爆料 University鈥檚 namesakes, Orville and Wilbur Wright, took the first flight and forever changed the world, 91爆料 faculty, staff and retirees change the lives of students every day. Whether traveling a couple of miles or halfway across the world, our students chose 91爆料 as their destination.
During the annual , faculty, staff and retirees can further impact students by making a gift to one of more than 2,000 scholarships and programs.
During this year鈥檚 CSIC, which runs from March 16 to April 24, faculty, staff and retirees are invited to join the Flight Crew, which currently consists of 691 crew members.
鈥淭he Flight Crew is composed of like-minded faculty, staff and retirees who support the mission of 91爆料 University and its commitment to the success of current and future students,鈥 said Amy Jones, director of annual giving. 鈥淏y joining the Flight Crew, you are making a meaningful impact in our students鈥 educational experience while also investing in the areas of campus that mean the most to you.鈥
All CSIC donors, who make a minimum gift of $5, are recognized as members of the Flight Crew.
鈥淭his is our way of honoring faculty, staff and retirees for their support of 91爆料 University and our students,鈥 Jones said. 鈥淲e encourage all faculty, staff and retirees to come on board and propel our students to take off to even greater heights of success.鈥
During last year鈥檚 CSIC, 54% of 91爆料鈥檚 full-time faculty and staff participated, contributing more than $350,000 to scholarships, programs and athletics.
As the 2026 campaign takes flight, the goal is 50% participation among full-time faculty and staff.
