Tribute to President Robert S. and Jody Nelsen

Make a gift in honor of the contributions of President Robert S. and Jody Nelsen.

Robert and Jody Nelsen inspired us to be changemakers and advocate for what we believe in. Because of their impact, we will never let go of our passion for building brighter futures and stronger communities.

The below two funds were chosen because they represent The Nelsen's highest priority—Hornet wellbeing. However, you can make a gift to any program you would like in their honor. To do so, switch the fund designation to "Other" and type in the designation you would like in the box below on the check-out page.

The Seth Nelsen Emergency Grant Endowment Fund

Emergency situations faced by our students include housing needs, medical bills, travel needs, school equipment, basic needs, and more.

Staff and Faculty Emergency Grant Fund

This fund was created to help Hornet faculty and staff in need. These grants provide limited financial assistance to eligible staff and faculty who are experiencing a temporary hardship due to a significant unforeseen life event.
