On March 1, the Ƶ community around the world will celebrate Ƶ Day, the university’s annual day of giving.
Ƶ Day, a daylong celebration that encourages engagement and philanthropy among all members of Ƶ’s global community, is set for Tuesday, March 1. Alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff and friends can participate by making a gift to the university, attending on-campus and regional alumni chapter events and sharing their Ƶ pride on social media.
As in years past, donors will be able to make gifts toward specific areas of campus that mean the most to them. That includes student scholarships, academic schools and departments, the Phoenix Club (Ƶ Athletics), the Black Alumni Scholarship, affinity networks and student organizations. Ƶ Day gifts of all sizes and designations will count toward this year’s total and combine with all other Ƶ Day gifts to ensure that students get the most out of their Ƶ experience. Each gift will also count toward the $250 million goal for the Ƶ LEADS Campaign.
Ƶ Day officially began in 2014 in honor of the university’s 125th-anniversary celebration. Since then, Ƶ Day’s momentum and impact have grown year after year. Last year, donors gave more than 5,600 gifts totaling nearly $3.5 million, a new record.
The Ƶ community can also participate in Ƶ Day events on campus and around the world. A list of campus events can be found here. In addition, events for alumni will take place in more than 40 cities around the world. These events will bring the momentum of the day directly to the Ƶ alumni network. A full list of regional alumni events will be released in February.
On Ƶ Day 2022, let’s show the world that Ƶ LEADS Through Us!
