Give 4 Garnet 2024

** Challenge Completed (1 of 3) **

New dean Dr. Forrest Anderson challenged alumni to give $300 over 5 years to the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences as part of All 4 Aiken. He offered some exciting incentives as part of this challenge:

1. If we raise $500 or get 25 pledges, Forrest will deadlift 225 pounds -- COMPLETED! See above video...
2. If we raise $1,500 or get 50 pledges, Forrest will attempt to hit a fastball off a pitcher on the USCA Baseball Team.
3. If we raise $3,000 or get 75 pledges, Forrest will go one-on-one against a player on the USCA Men's Basketball Team.

What's a $300 pledge over 5 years look like? 

Below is a manageable plan to make it happen:

1. Year 1: $20
2. Year 2: $40
3. Year 3: $60
4. Year 4: $80
5. Year 5: $100

What's Happening at the College?

The College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences offers undergraduate programs leading to degrees in Art, Communication, English, History, Music, Political Science, Sociology, Spanish, and Theatre. 

The college has concentrated this year on quality program development and the success of our students. 

Faculty are creating micro-credentials for students both in and outside of our college that pair a traditional bachelor’s degree with a “workforce certificate” that matches the needs and skills employers are seeking in our state and nation. 

Under development are certificates in Strategic Communication, Spanish for the Clinical Encounter, and Professional and Technical Writing. 

Faculty are hard at work, too, on our innovative new minor that applies computer-based technology to the humanities. “Digital Humanities” asks what it means to be human in a digital world and engages with languages, literature, history, music, communications, and computer science. 

Your gift will be put to good use in the Academic Year 2024/25!
