Giving

Collaborations and partnerships are central to our vision of innovation and first-rate education.

From the generous Charles M. Geschke Endowed Directorship of the HCII, to other named endowed professorships, fellowships, and named places, such as the Kiesler-Kraut Commons, we are thankful for the many generous donations from alumni, faculty, staff, and students.

We hope that you, too, will share our vision and help us to make it happen by giving generously to the HCII. Gifts of any size are welcome! Current HCII funds for your consideration include:

• The HCII Fund is an unrestricted fund that allows our director to continue to grow our vision of innovation and first-rate education.
• The HCII Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Fund supports our efforts to recruit students of diverse backgrounds to HCII masters and PhD programs.
• The HCII Graduate Fellowship directly supports HCII graduate students who may not otherwise be able to attend CMU.
• The HCII Undergraduate Program Fund provides support for undergraduate students enrolled at the HCII. 
• The Vaccaro HCII Fellowship carries on the legacy of Angel Hollis Vaccaro, providing endowed fellowship support to HCII master's degree students.

In addition to these funds, there are many opportunities available to show your support for HCII, from endowing a professorship, to funding scholarships or graduate fellowships, to naming first-rate facilities. You can also support HCII in ways that go beyond traditional cash donations; many of our donors can make a larger contribution by giving stock, particularly stock that has appreciated in value. If you'd like to discuss these or any other giving options, please contact us at scsgiving@cs.cmu.edu.
