Give to the College of Science
The College of Science is addressing the need for STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), sustainability, and an environmentally green workforce by leading the field in science and mathematics education, research, and community engagement. We consign our efforts by providing:
- Educational excellence is achieved as students get acquainted with faculty and staff.
- Experiences that transform, accessed within the classroom, laboratories, and field.
- Scholarships are available for students to continue their pursuits in science and mathematics with less financial strain.
- Engagement in science and math concepts, to all our community through outreach.
- Personalized investiture to K-12 students, current Weber students, parents, and teachers.
We are grateful to those who donate to our efforts. We invite you to make a difference in the lives of our science and mathematics students, community, and college by contributing to their success through donations to the College of Science.
Day of Giving 2026: Three College of Science initiatives to support on April 9th-10th
1. Weber State Greater Yellowstone Field Station.
As part of our Amplify Weber State campaign, the College of Science is raising funds to establish a permanent research base in the heart of the Yellowstone Ecosystem. Imagine a place where Wildcats don’t just read about ecology, geology, or zoology—they live it.
Why a Field Station? 🎒
• Year-Round Research: A dedicated hub for faculty and student collaboration.
• Immersive Learning: Moving beyond the classroom into 22 million acres of living laboratory.
• Impact: Real-world data collection that contributes to the preservation of our natural world.
2. Strengthen the tools for student research.
As part of our Amplify Weber State campaign, the College of Science is investing in the tools that turn curiosity into real‑world discovery—precision microscopes, advanced telescopes, analytical instruments, and the materials that make high‑level student research possible.
Why instrumentation? ⚙️
• Hands‑on Research: Students don’t just learn science—they practice it.
• Cutting‑Edge Skills: Training on the same equipment used in professional labs and observatories.
• Impact: Data, insights, and innovations that ripple far beyond campus.
3. Sun Smart under the Utah sun.
As part of our Amplify Weber State campaign, Gennie Parkman, professor of zoology, and students are leading a vital sun safety initiative to reduce skin cancer risk in our high-altitude communities through education and the distribution of essential protective resources.
Why sun safety?🧴
• Direct Prevention: Providing high-SPF sunscreen, sunglasses, lip balm, and hats to those most at risk in our thin mountain air.
• Targeted Education: Spreading awareness about the unique intensity of UV rays in Utah.
• Long-term Impact: Reducing the prevalence of skin cancer through proactive outreach and early intervention.
