The Frederick Douglass Institute for Academic Excellence plays a vital role in enriching the academic and cultural experience of our students and campus community. As part of the statewide PASSHE collaborative, the Institute celebrates the life and legacy of Frederick Douglass—an enduring symbol of perseverance, education, and equality—by empowering students to follow his example in their own pursuit of excellence.

Your support helps us continue this important work by providing opportunities for student scholars to engage in meaningful programs, attend the annual PASSHE Frederick Douglass Institute Conference, and participate in collaborative research and learning experiences that strengthen their academic and personal growth.

With your gift, you help us:

• Inspire students to take ownership of their academic journey.

• Use Frederick Douglass’s life as a model for leadership and achievement.

• Support the success and retention of historically underrepresented students.

• Build connections among faculty, students, and scholars across the PASSHE system.

Together, we can continue to honor Frederick Douglass’s legacy by fostering education, empowerment, and opportunity for all.

Make your gift today and help us keep his vision alive at Bloomsburg University.
