iOpening Hinds Hall: Honoring our past, celebrating our future

Hinds Hall Naming Opportunities

Technology Endowment Campaign for Hinds Hall (TECHH)

What we teach, learn, and research in the School of Information Studies is in large part informed by the technology we use, the infrastructure that supports the use of this technology, and the ‘virtual’ collaboration that exists between the school and its world-wide partners. The Technology Endowment Campaign for Hinds Hall (TECHH) complements the building renovation by raising funds to guarantee that our leading programs will always be forward looking and have the cutting-edge technology and infrastructure they deserve.

The iSchool currently has several naming opportunities available in Hinds Hall. Six figure gifts and higher can also be counted toward the Raymond von Dran Memorial Fund.
