📣A message from The Dean of Athletics ~

"The 2024 "Giving Day + March Mania" campaign presents us all with an exciting opportunity to see our gifts count toward the areas of athletics that are most meaningful, while also counting toward the totals for university giving day. As part of this collaborative effort, the Athletics Department and the Development Office Annual Fund staff have joined forces in the aim of elevating excitement, participation and giving totals to new heights. For our athletics athletes, coaches and staff, Giving Day + March Mania remains the most important annual giving opportunity of the year. Based on the extraordinary success last year, the bar has been set very high! However, we look forward to meeting that challenge through the additional excitement of new donors, the expansion of our campaign visibility, and the thrill of witnessing the inherent competitiveness of our athletics alumni as the battles around alumni participation, unlocking matching grants, and sport vs. sport totals play out once again!"
