A look back at what ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ families accomplished last fiscal year.
The ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Office of Parent Engagement recently released its Impact Report for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. See the full report below:
What started as a typical school year quickly turned into something none of us could have expected. Even so, the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community adapted to changes while maintaining strong connections and deepening support for students.
By giving to ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ last fiscal year, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ families played an active role in opening the door to a life-changing education for deserving students. In turn, these students will provide the dynamic leadership our world needs now more than ever, as we face challenges including a global pandemic and the injustices of racism.
Read below some of the highlights of the year that exemplify what ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ families can accomplish when they come together.
Last fall, ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ families showed that ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ connections are truly lifelong as 2,359 family members engaged with each other and ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ on campus and across the country through attending or volunteering with Summer Welcome Events, Family Weekend, and ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign regional events.
Nearly 5,500 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ families made a gift last year, all of which count toward the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS Campaign. Additionally, volunteers helped host over 2,600 
attendees at a series of regional events to support the launch of ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS.
Over 6,100 gifts were made on ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Day to help reach a record-breaking $2.5 million to enhance the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ student experience.
Soon after ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Day, COVID-19 took hold of our country. The ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community pulled together in this time of crisis, in part by supporting the °ä³ó²¹±è±ô²¹¾±²Ô’s 
Fund, which helps members of the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community facing unforeseen hardships. A new fund, Students First, was created to support students whose families are facing economic hardship due to the pandemic.
While the year did not end as anyone could have expected, the Office of Parent Engagement is ready to navigate the road ahead alongside the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community. Whether it is in person or on campus, in another city across the world or in a virtual room, what makes the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community special is collective strength, commitment and generosity.
