FY17

Printed on recycled paper containing 10% postconsumer waste.

We are deeply grateful to the Walter and Karla Goldschmidt Foundation for their generous commitment to the

Washington University Libraries. The University Libraries support every school, department, program, faculty member, and student at Washington University, and act as the academic commons for each individual who passes through our campus.

We invite those who value the critical resources provided by the Libraries to demonstrate their support and participate in the Walter and Karla Goldschmidt Foundation Matching Challenge today. Your gift will benefit a community of scholars that reaches across campus and beyond.

Participation in the Goldschmidt Foundation Matching Challenge will strengthen the Libraries resources and enhance our community collaborations, resulting in an enriched academic environment and attracting new Libraries patrons.

We thank the Goldschmidt Foundation for their generosity and inspiration. Together, we will help ensure the Washington University Libraries provide exceptional opportunities for learning and discovery for many generations to come.

“Supporting the Libraries helps support the University as a whole. We are honored to help inspire alumni and friends to contribute to this vital resource.”

– Jim Goldschmidt, AB ’73
