For the past few months, we’ve been emailing you with a special request to support our graduate students through the PSD Fellowship Challenge. As we begin a new year and a new quarter of the school year, we are excited to share some very good news.
 
We were overwhelmed by the response from our alumni and friends. The PSD Fellowship Challenge surpassed its goal of $3.6 million to raise a total of $3.75 million to support our graduate students. Highlights of the challenge include:

• $980,841 in gifts from just over 1,000 individual PSD supporters;
• $969,500 in gifts from the PSD Council, with 100% participation from active Council members; and
• An anonymous challenge gift of $1.8M from a long-time supporter of the PSD, providing a one-to-one match to the gifts above.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to the PSD Fellowship Challenge at any level. Our students, faculty, and staff are very grateful for your generous support during this challenging time.
