Â鶹ÊÓƵ

When recent graduate Brianna Elder signed on to work in education through the City Year AmeriCorps program, she never imagined she would find herself coping with the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic in one of the nation’s hardest hit cities.

Alumni, parents and supporters of the university gathered in David Geffen Hall in the Lincoln Center in Manhattan on Thursday, Sept. 5, to learn more about Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s historic fundraising effort.

Alumni, students, families, faculty, staff and friends gave 6,376 gifts and more than $2.3 million in honor of the day, propelling this year’s Â鶹ÊÓƵ Day celebration to new heights.

The annual block party is moving to Schar Center from the original outdoor location due to inclement weather in the forecast.

Trustee Cindy Citrone P’17 and Rob Citrone P’17 hosted the event, which brought together Orlando’s Â鶹ÊÓƵ community and included a university update from President Connie Ledoux Book.

 

Alumni, parents, faculty and staff invested in Â鶹ÊÓƵ and its students in record numbers during the 2017-18 fiscal year.

 

The board was joined by President Connie Ledoux Book as they made the scholarship official at their annual spring meeting.

More than 20 class and affinity groups hosted milestone reunion celebrations on campus during Homecoming weekend, Nov. 3-5. 

The Â鶹ÊÓƵ Latinx Hispanic Alumni Network (ELHAN) will officially launch September 2017.

In honor of #Â鶹ÊÓƵDay on March 7, donors made 4,299 gifts for more than $1,075,025 to achieve the most successful #Â鶹ÊÓƵDay celebration to date.
