Giving to the Cognitive Science Program

As state funding continues to diminish, the need for private funding becomes a crucial part of maintaining the quality of a highly innovative and successful Cognitive Science Program. Your tax-deductible contribution to the Cognitive Science Program, is an appreciated pledge of support which provides the opportunity to offer the very best in the field of Cognitive Science to the students and accomplished scholars who choose this major of study at the University of Virginia.

What Your Gift Can Do

Your generous support will allow the Cognitive Science program to continue to fund the Speaker Lecture Series for our students. In the past we have presented speakers such as David Huron, Professor, School of Music & Center for Cognitive Science at the University of Ohio,who offered a lecture on Communication of Emotion In Music. This year Tom Sgouros and his robot Judy, will be presenting: Judy -or- What Is It Like to Be a Robot?

A few of the other programs that will benefit from your generous contributions are social events designed to bring together students and faculty, and the Cognitive Science Career Forum, which educates students on the opportunities available to those who obtain an undergraduate degree in Cognitive Science. It is our goal to involve the Cognitive Science alumni in the Career Forum scheduled for this fall.
