As a leader in the sciences — health, animal, environmental, and physical — UF prepares a majority of our students for careers in the care of humans, animals, and the planet. In fact, 54 percent of all students take at least one chemistry course. Renovating and updating lab facilities for our animal science, biology, EHSS, forensics, and health science programs will provide greater opportunities in experiential learning with cutting edge technology.

Athletic Facilities Upgrades
The University of Findlay develops student-athletes who are poised to take the growth from their respective sport at UF and move it forward through their lives outside of the playing field. Enhancements to existing facilities will heighten competition and exposure, boost recruitment and grow enrollment, and create greater numbers of Oilers fans, who, together with student-athletes, will propel programs to greater attendance and acknowledgment. Additions to the lacrosse, baseball, softball, and soccer playing fields, including stadium seating and lighting, among other amenities, as well as renovations to Croy Gymnasium, will allow for a clearer path toward success and recognition for burgeoning University athletics.
Endowed leadership & professorship positions
Endowed leadership and professional positions allow Findlay to compete not only with other universities but also with business and industry for leading faculty and professionals. A named position is a prestigious honor and the funds allow our top faculty and professionals to take their work to the next level creating the kinds of vibrant academic programs and experiential learning opportunities for our students that the larger world will note.
Opportunities for endowed leadership positions are as varied as the passions of our supporters. Endowing key academic and athletic positions could include:
- Faculty Chair endowment for the Environment, Health, Safety, and Sustainability Program
- Endowed Deanship in the College of Pharmacy
- Endowed Head Men’s Basketball Coach
- Endowed Director of Campus Ministries
- Endowed Education Coordinator for the Mazza Museum
Campus Ministries
Christian leaders flourish at the University of Findlay. Regardless of academic focus or major, the University is always ready to assist with the life of faith. Founded by the Churches of God, General Conference, as a Christ-centered college, the University celebrates Christian principles alongside academia, viewing both as essential in the ever-changing world in which we live.
In times of comfort and in times of challenge, the Campus Ministries Program, welcoming to students of all denominations, provides the guidance that young people will use to make a lasting impact in the surrounding community and to form powerful bonds. Providing an endowment for the leadership within campus ministry will secure long-term support for this important work.

Our Mission
To develop graduates who serve and lead with purpose, passion, and skill
Our students have placed their most valuable asset into our hands–their future.
And in response, our commitment to ensuring they reach their full potential can only happen when we come together and create the opportunities required for developing the servant-leaders of tomorrow in ways that set them up for lifelong success.
The Together We Will campaign at the University of Findlay is a seven-year initiative with a total goal of $75 million. Providing affordable education and enriching the student experience are two primary objectives in our continuing mission to develop students who, upon graduation, are prepared for both service and leadership within their communities.
