Ƶ reflects on the impact made by Ƶ alumni and families throughout the 2021-2022 fiscal year.
As Ƶ wraps up one school year and prepares for the next, it’s time to take a look at the incredible support Ƶ had over the last year that provided both current and future students with life-changing opportunities.
See below for some of the highlights of the 2021-22 year that show just how far the support of Ƶ alumni, families and friends can go.
Partnership with Ƶ is exemplified by the many events attended and supported.
- More than 2,000 alumni came back to campus for Homecoming & Reunion Weekend 2021.
- Alumni in 20 chapters attended Welcome to the City events across the country.
- Over 6,300 alumni engaged with their alma mater throughout the 2021-22 year.
- More than 2,300 parents and grandparents attended one or more of the 84 parent and grandparent events.
- 2,105 alumni and more than 470 parents and grandparents showed their commitment to Ƶ by volunteering their time throughout the 2021-22.
Ƶ would not be able to operate the way it does without the help of dedicated ambassadors who serve as:
- Board and council members
- Affinity Network volunteers
- Ƶ Day Champions
- Reunion volunteers
- Regional Chapter volunteers
- Social Media Ambassadors
- Parent’s Council
- Ƶ Family Ambassadors
Ƶ is incredibly thankful to have a large number of alumni and family donors who attend events and donate their time to the university as volunteers. This year a spectacular 7,018 alumni and 3,712 parents or grandparents, made a gift to provide Ƶ students with life-changing experiences. Gifts of all sizes also counted toward the Ƶ LEADS Campaign.
- Over $123,000 was raised for the Black Alumni Scholarship during the 2021-22 fiscal year.
- Alumni giving participation increased to 20%.
- Ƶ once again enjoyed a successful Ƶ Day raising more than $3.5 million, from 4,988 gifts, on the annual day of giving.
- Alumni contributed over $4 million while parents and grandparents contributed more than $5 million to a total of 519 funds throughout the year.
The university thanks everyone in the Ƶ family who supported current and future students this year whether financially, through attending events or volunteering their time. Ƶ is a special place made even more special by those who support it.
