In celebration of Concordia’s history, the former, current, and incoming presidents of Concordia College have come together to support students.
Dr. Paul Dovre '58, Dr. William Craft, and Dr. Colin Irvine and their families are matching up to $30,000 in gifts to The Cobber Fund for student scholarships during this year’s Hearts Together giving challenge.
This campaign has been particularly meaningful for Katherine Halvorson '02, director of Annual Giving and Engagement. “We are so blessed at Concordia to have leaders who care deeply for students and are so committed to their success,” she said.
More than half the dollars raised through The Cobber Fund support scholarships. The Cobber Fund also aids academic and career development initiatives, high-impact learning experiences, technology and facility updates, trusted relationships, and resources to help students succeed at Concordia and beyond.
Nearly every Concordia College student receives financial aid through scholarships, grants, loans, and work-study.
“Each year, thousands of Cobber alumni, parents, and friends of all ages come together to make sure a Concordia education is possible for students from all financial backgrounds,” Halvorson said. “All who give are helping to equip a new generation of young people who will make an impact in the world. Thank you to all who are putting their hearts together for students!”
The Hearts Together campaign runs June 26-30. To join the celebration, visit Hearts Together Giving Challenge and follow along on social media that week as we highlight Concordia’s past, present, and future.
