University Development

The energy on campus is positive and contagious! With "student success and academic excellence" as the primary focus, YSU continues to move forward during this exciting time. 

Our students notice, our alumni notice, and most importantly, we proudly take ownership of our mission. Our focus is clear – to keep an education at YSU affordable, attainable, and competitive for our constituency.

Our donors - faculty and staff, alumni, friends and others, are generous and loyal. Because of the strong spirit of giving they have demonstrated over the years, the Annual Fund at YSU has grown at record levels. We thank those who have continued their involvement with YSU through philanthropic support.

We are proud of our institution and ask that you join us and consider a gift to Youngstown State University or the YSU Foundation.

Thank you and GO PENGUINS!
