Archer Establishes Graduate Student Support Fund at University
What happened
Analisa Archer established the Graduate Student Support Fund with a $25,000 gift to assist graduate students at the University who face financial hardships not covered by traditional scholarships. The fund provides timely financial assistance for tuition and mandatory fees. Archer was inspired to create the fund after hearing Dr. Sally Selden, the University’s president, discuss priorities focused on recruitment and retention for both undergraduate and graduate students.

Why it matters
The new external funding supports the University’s stated goals regarding student retention. The fund supplements existing support, such as the Fox Student Retention Fund established by Julie Doyle in 2025, which also provides support to students.
