Letter from the Dean
As we move towards summer, many more of us are being vaccinated. Along with this comes the promise of our being able to resume our former ways of being. The spring 2021 semester is our fourth pandemic semester and we have figured out ways to make it work. As always, I remain impressed and proud of how we have managed a difficult situation and been able to keep moving forward. That said, we are all ready to take some of the good things we’ve learned about operations during the pandemic forward and leave the rest behind. I’m happy for our students that we will soon be returning to our more usual way of doing things and I'm hopeful that the lasting effect will be a kind of resiliency that will benefit our students as they head into their futures.

Giving Day Breaks Records Once Again
More than 2,500 individual donors supported Cleveland State University during CSU's eighth annual Giving Day on Tuesday, February 16, 2021. In one day, the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences raised more than $5,100 in support of scholarships, departments, and the annual fund.
The 24-hour day of giving was driven primarily through social media promotions and an online crowd funding platform. Cleveland State University raised $450,000 and counting across multiple colleges, student activity programs, and special projects, including scholarships, research, technology, and more.
Support from alumni, friends, faculty, staff, and students contributed to another record-breaking Giving Day. Collectively, individuals contributed to a 7% increase in donations compared to last year's campaign.
Thanks to all who made Giving Day such a success!
