Chancellor’s Report on Philanthropy

Spring 2021

As our academic year comes to an end, I would like to reflect on the resilience of our �������� community. By working hard and responsibly, we have emerged from this challenging year with renewed enthusiasm for our university.

Donors like you show us that the world is full of champions and advocates, and you inspire us to do our best work.

This spring we hosted a successful virtual Blue and Gold Celebration, unveiled our new state-of-the-art �������� Esports Center and helped to launch our first-ever statewide philanthropic campaign, “For ��������.”

May 1, �������� awarded over 1,300 degrees. Graduates were celebrated both in-person and virtually. �������� hosted its first drive-in Car-mencement, followed by a parade around campus. A virtual ceremony was held later that afternoon. It was a pleasure to see so many graduates and their families come together safely to celebrate. Faculty and staff were also on campus to cheer the graduates and celebrate their achievements. These newest �������� alumni look forward to the future and the positive impact they will have on our community, thanks in part to the generosity of donors like you.

It is evident that �������� is a living, adaptable, innovative and nimble entity, capable of persevering through challenges — much like our students. Your generosity ensures that �������� continues to support our students and build a positive future for our state and the world.

Thank you for your generosity and support, and thanks for choosing ��������.
