Get Involved
People support Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ for many reasons – because of the wonderful memories they hold from their time here on campus; because they believe an investment in Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ is an investment in the future; because they once received a scholarship that helped them achieve their dreams; because they wish to honor the memory of friends or loved ones. Whatever your reason, we invite you to learn about the many opportunities to get involved with Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ and grow with us.

Faculty and Staff
As a faculty or staff member, you are a part of the Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ family. Making a gift to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ is just one more way you can join your colleagues in support of Western Carolina. You can choose to make your tax deductible payroll gift specifically to your college or unit, or to the Fund for Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ, which supports scholarships and other high-need areas.
Friends and Community
Some of Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ's most loyal supporters are not alumni but rather community members who have been touched in some way by Western Carolina's mission of providing a high-quality, affordable, engaged education to people in the westernmost region of our state. Learn how you can make a difference in the lives of current and future Catamounts.
Students
From scholarships to expert faculty, every student benefits from gifts to Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ. Students play a big role in our fundraising efforts. Learn how you can be part of the next generation of proud Catamount supporters.
