ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Trustee Jay Hendrickson ’71 and his wife, Amy Hendrickson ’69, support A Will to Lead, a special initiative of the ÂÒÂ×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 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ. Creating new scholarships to produce Graduates the World Needs is the top priority of the $250 million ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ LEADS campaign.

In the midst of the holiday season, the ÂÒÂ×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.

ÂÒÂ×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 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ by placing the university in their estate plans to fund scholarships and other key institutional priorities.

The recent graduate worked through COVID-19 and the Texas winter storm to generate funds for Austin Pets Alive!, a no-kill animal shelter in Austin.

Together, the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ community raised over $3.4 million from 5,609 gifts and unlocked numerous opportunities for ÂÒÂ×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 ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Day.

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

The university’s communications efforts in 2020 were recognized for excellence by the Council for the Advancement and Support of Education.

Mark your calendars: ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Day, the university’s annual day of giving, will take place on Tuesday, March 2.
