DONOR RECOGNITION PROGRAM


President James E. Cofer, Sr.For over 75 years, the University of Louisiana at Monroe has provided outstanding academic, cultural and service opportunities for the citizens of Louisiana. Today, we continue this valued tradition through an even stronger commitment of “Students First” in all areas of university life. Whether it is in the classroom, on stage, in the research laboratory, or on the athletic field, ULM students are striving to be their very best.

Our achievements greatly depend on the generosity of our alumni and friends. As a donor, your gift has a significant impact on current and future generations of students. To express gratitude to those donors who have distinguished themselves through their support, the ULM Donor Recognition Program was established to recognize donors who generously support the University through their ongoing and significant gifts.

Thank you for your continued involvement and generous support.
