ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½

ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ was founded on the generosity of 13 men who gave 13 dollars and 13 prayers. Today, the University still thrives on the dedication of its loving ones.

Over the past 200 years, ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ has continued to ascend, thanks to the support of alumni, families, and friends. As the University pursues the bold ambitions of its Third-Century Plan, the worldwide ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ community will — as always — play an essential role. Your gifts to ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ enable the ascent of this great University and its students. As we seek to deliver greater affordability, equity, and inclusion, more resources mean more students of promise and achievement can access a ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ education.

ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Winter

On ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Day, we issued a challenge that if 3,113 members of this community made a gift, a group of generous challengers would give $1.5 million in support of the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Fund - specifically the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Commitment, the University's initiative in access and affordability.

Thank you to the 3,691 members of this community who met the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Day Challenge, making gifts totaling $1,968,628 in support of the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Fund. When added to the $1.5 million unlocked by our challengers, a total of almost $3.5 million was raised. This is truly remarkable and is an important step forward in our continued fundraising efforts for the ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Commitment. While it is true that we have significantly more to raise in order to reach our ambitious financial aid goal - to see 50% of students eligible to receive aid - we took an important step forward on ÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½ Day. Thank you.
