We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our incredible campus community for your support and buy-in to make this year’s Giving Day an unprecedented success! With more than 3,400 donors participating — far exceeding last year’s 269 participating donors — your support truly made a difference.

We’re especially proud to recognize the top three colleges in academic giving: the College of Liberal and Applied Arts took first place followed by the Nelson Rusche College of Business in second and the James I. Perkins College of Education in third. In athletics, the cheer team led the way, with baseball in second and football rounding out the top three.

A special thank you goes to the generous donors who contributed to fund incentives for our top contributors in both academics and athletics. Their support helps foster a mindset of giving back, which directly benefits our students and inspires future campaigns, helping us create even more successful initiatives.

We deeply appreciate each and every one of you for your commitment to our mission. Together, we’re building a brighter future for our students and programs, and your support is proof of that. Stay tuned for more ways to get involved and help us continue this momentum!
