Â鶹ÊÓƵ

Alumni, parents and friends in eight regions around the country participated in a series of virtual university updates this spring. Now, a version of the update is available on demand to the entire Â鶹ÊÓƵ community.

Even during this challenging time, two-thirds of Â鶹ÊÓƵ employees made gifts to the institution in support of student scholarships, athletics programs and more.

The university’s Odyssey Program resonates with senior Koster Silvernail ’21 and parents Shelby and Andy Silvernail P’21, leading to a generous gift that will help high-achieving students with financial need attend Â鶹ÊÓƵ. Support for Odyssey and other scholarships is the top priority of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign.

A generous gift from Robert and Rosemary Baffi P’17 will increase scholarships in Â鶹ÊÓƵ’s nationally recognized Odyssey Program. Creating more endowed scholarships is the top priority of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The on-campus events offered an opportunity for students, faculty and staff to safely gather to celebrate the university and support Â鶹ÊÓƵ Day.

Join us today to celebrate Â鶹ÊÓƵ Day, the university’s annual day of giving. Make a gift, attend virtual and on-campus events, and show your Â鶹ÊÓƵ spirit on social media as we grow opportunities for students.
