Welcome to the Support UD Web Site

Imagination — Faith — Commitment

Founded in 1850 by the Society of Mary, with little funding but tremendous faith, the University of Dayton has evolved into a national leader in Catholic higher education.

Like our founders, our donors imagine what the University of Dayton can be and have faith that we will achieve those goals. The commitment of our donors makes UD's vision a reality.

Donor support helps the University create a dynamic living and learning community. It helps maintain UD's Catholic leadership in higher education and helps challenge the minds of today’s students and engage the future.

Today, because of our donors' belief in UD, we continue to strive for excellence. We remain true to our Catholic & Marianist heritage while linking learning & scholarship with leadership & service. At the University of Dayton, students have a formative experience that changes them forever. And they, in turn, change the world forever.
