"I am so overwhelmed and grateful for the outpouring of support for The Carrie Woods Doctoral Fund by the Pitt Business PhD Alumni, Faculty and Staff. It is humbling that so many donated to this program in my name. I hope to reach out to each of you individually to thank you and to catch up with you; and I know that this fund will contribute to the continued success of our amazing PhD program at Pitt Business. With warmest wishes and a giant thank you. - Carrie"

Not only did we reach our goal, we’re delighted to share that we have surpassed it! This fund will support doctoral students to successfully complete their degrees by helping with direct research costs, conference fees, travel and accommodation costs, job interview costs, and assistance with unanticipated expenses. 

It’s clear that Carrie had a tremendous impact on so many lives at Pitt Business. Thank you for celebrating Carrie’s retirement and enabling us to continue honoring her legacy while benefitting generations of Pitt Business doctoral students.

Thank you to everyone who made a gift, shared the link, and spread the word about the Carrie Woods Doctoral Fund.  Please feel free to continue spreading the word to other alumni, family, and friends with this link Carrie Woods Doctoral Fund.

We could not have accomplished this without you. Thank you on behalf of Pitt Business!

A huge thank you to everybody who has made a gift so far! We are 95% of the way to our goal, but we’re not done yet. Our sensational start is due to the generosity of more than 50 people like YOU who knew Carrie Woods and made a gift in appreciation of all she did for the Pitt Business doctoral program. Just think of the possibilities if everyone reading this made even a small gift.

There is still time to say thank you to Carrie by making a gift to the Carrie Woods Doctoral Fund. We're counting on your support to power us through and help us reach our goal of $50,000.  

A donor has also offered a matching gift of $25,000 if we raise $100,000. A gift from you can help us raise more than twice our original goal. How amazing would that be? Think about the positive impact on the PhD program, how many top scholars would be attracted to Katz, and how many more PhD students will be successful because the Carrie Woods Doctoral Fund helped with their research costs, conference fees, travel costs, and job interview costs.

Thank you so much for your support and even if you already gave, you can still support the fund by sharing our campaign page with friends and family on social media and word of mouth.
