The new Jim & Janet Sinegal Center for Science & Innovation opens this fall! This is a massive accomplishment—made possible by generous donors—that will allow Seattle U to double our number of STEM majors and provide new labs, study spaces and workstations to students. But, we need your help to complete the exciting final step: furnishing learning spaces and filling labs with new equipment.
Seattle U’s STEM education offers a rare level of hands-on research, real-world partnership and faculty mentorship that propels our graduates to excel in demanding fields. We accomplish this by investing significantly in our students—providing them with exceptional faculty, small class sizes, and endless opportunities to explore, discover and innovate.
Have no doubt—the STEM students of today will be designing our future. In just a few short years, they will be undertaking biomedical research, developing engineering solutions to global warming and creating algorithms that drive everything from hiring to banking. Preparing them for this future requires up-to-date equipment that can keep pace with modern industry standards.
Today, you can make a difference by supporting the CSI Equipment Fund.
Each department has unique needs and just a few examples are listed below. No gift is too small, as every dollar will help fulfill the promise of a Seattle U STEM education—preparing capable, Jesuit-educated innovators to lead us through the complexities of tomorrow.

Make your gift by June 30th to be recognized on opening day!
Every donor supporting the CSI and CSI Equipment Fund will have their name, or the name of someone they’d like to honor, included in a STEM window mural during the fall opening: the more donors, the larger the display! Join us today to be part of something big.
If you’re able, consider a gift of $10,000 or more to be featured on the permanent CSI donor wall. This is a great way to show your commitment to STEM education, publicize your business or foundation, or honor a loved one or faculty member.
