Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The generosity of alumni, parents and friends has doubled the number of Odyssey Scholarships during the Â鶹ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign. The Odyssey Program assists outstanding students with high financial need, including first-generation college students.

The three-day event was held this year entirely over Zoom, and featured activities, performances and speakers.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ Trustee Jay Hendrickson ’71 and his wife, Amy Hendrickson ’69, support A Will to Lead, a special initiative of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign to inspire donors to establish a lasting legacy by placing the university in their estate plans.

The annual fundraiser brings Â鶹ÊÓƵ students together for a dance marathon supporting children and families at Duke Children’s Hospital and Health Center.

The statewide award recognizes the university’s efforts to grow its annual United Way campaign.

Ava Rosen ’23 reshaped her future thanks to the Inman Family Odyssey Scholarship, which led her to Â鶹ÊÓƵ. Creating new scholarships to produce Graduates the World Needs is the top priority of the $250 million Â鶹ÊÓƵ LEADS campaign.

Accompanied by Assistant Professor Mark Cryan, nine members of the club sports team volunteered with Christmas Cheer of Alamance County, which delivers toys, clothing, food and financial assistance to area families.

In the midst of the holiday season, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ New York City Alumni Chapter searched to find how we could make an impact in our own community in a robust way leaving behind an even larger impact than expected.

Â鶹ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign chair Chris Martin ’78 P’13 announced a special campaign initiative to allow alumni, parents and friends to establish a lasting legacy at Â鶹ÊÓƵ by placing the university in their estate plans to fund scholarships and other key institutional priorities.

Together, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ community raised over $3.4 million from 5,609 gifts and unlocked numerous opportunities for Â鶹ÊÓƵ students and the community.
