Additional Info

Luddy School students pose together

Innovation propels all that we do at the Luddy School of Informatics, Computing, and Engineering. We forge new paths by placing ourselves at the forefront of technology education. The Luddy School houses degrees in informatics, computer science, information and library science, cybersecurity, intelligent systems engineering, data science, and more. Our areas of study touch every industry imaginable in a world driven by information, data, and technology.

Tuition and state funding cover only part of the cost of the Luddy School’s unique educational experience. Charitable giving offsets much of the difference, but most gifts are designated for a particular cause. This makes flexible funding vital to the Luddy School. The Luddy Step Up Fund provides the unrestricted support essential to addressing initiatives that other, strictly designated funds can't; it’s the difference that allows the Luddy School to direct support where it’s most needed.

Gifts made to the Luddy Step Up Fund support crucial opportunities that might otherwise not exist, such as:

  • student conferences and events, including the Women in Tech conference and Circle of Change student leadership conference
  • travel for education and research trips
  • top-tier faculty recruitment and cultivation
  • support for student events and awards
  • graduate and undergraduate scholarships
  • Luddy Living Learning Center activities
  • and more

Your gift is essential in supporting an incredible student experience. We invite you to join us in building a better tomorrow by stepping up today.

Your giving matters

I give back to Luddy because even as it changes and grows, it's still a place that values diversity of ideas and knows that people are at the center of innovation. That focus on how people engage with information and drive innovation has informed my whole career in libraries.
