About

School of Arts and Sciences

Every Fisher student experiences the foundation of a Fisher education in the School of Arts and Sciences. Gifts to the School sustain the liberal arts—the heart of Fisher’s academic tradition—and support programs that empower students to thrive in an evolving and diverse world.

Your support fuels:

  • Experiential Learning – Internships, study abroad, and research opportunities that bridge classroom learning with real-world experience.
  • State-of-the-Art Facilities – Advanced spaces like the Integrated Science and Health Sciences Building, fostering hands-on learning across disciplines.
  • Diverse Academic Programs – A broad range of majors and interdisciplinary opportunities that encourage exploration and intellectual curiosity.
  • Faculty-Student Collaboration – Research and creative projects that inspire leadership, critical thinking, and innovation.
  • Career Readiness – Programs that cultivate communication, ethical reasoning, and civic engagement skills essential for future success.
  • Community Engagement – Service initiatives and regional partnerships that enhance Fisher’s impact beyond the classroom.

By giving to the Fisher Fund for the School of Arts and Sciences, you help shape the next generation of leaders, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to make meaningful contributions to their communities and the world. Thank you for investing in their future.
