The Materials and Equipment Fund assists the iSchool in purchasing new equipment for our classrooms, research centers, and community spaces. It is also the fund for gifts to the "Name a Chair" campaign, which is a faculty and staff driven philanthropic initiative that will bring new chairs to the classrooms of Hornbake South. This fund is central to our mission by providing the iSchool the resources to purchase new hardware and software, research materials, publications, journals and licencees in need by a world leader in information studies.
