ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ

More than 250 people gathered in McKinnon Hall Monday night for the university’s annual scholarship dinner. Donors of need- and talent-based academic scholarships met with their student scholarship recipients and heard an update on the Ever ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Campaign and presentations from two Lumen Scholars.

During this year’s Senior Class Giving Campaign, members of the Class of 2011 will be encouraged to make a gift to the university to show their support for their ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ experiences.

About 3,000 people have watched President Leo M. Lambert's message about the important role that alumni play in ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ’s future, including making annual gifts to support the best of an ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ education. This is the first of several videos the president will share with alumni this year via e-mail, Facebook, Twitter and E-Net.

By participating in the ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ Career Network, you can help current students and fellow alumni with internship and job searches. It's a great way to stay connected to ÂÒÂ×ÊÓƵ.
