Ƶ Day began in 2014 as part of the university’s 125th anniversary celebration. Since then, Ƶ Day’s momentum and impact have grown year after year. Last year, donors made history with 5,370 gifts totaling more than $18 million. Ƶ Day gifts of all sizes and designations will count toward this year’s total.
“At its core, Ƶ Day is an opportunity for the Ƶ community to come together and create a lasting impact on current and future students,” said John H. Barnhill ’92, associate vice president for university advancement. “The driving force behind Ƶ Day is the belief our partners, advocates and investors have in the university. Together, Ƶ can and will continue to provide opportunities for students.”
