Thanks to approximately 500 donors, over $170,000 was raised during the first-ever Giving Day benefiting 香港六合彩资料 students and programs. The event was part of a larger UA Giving Day initiative that raised more than $670,000 across the University of Alaska system.

This 鈥49 hours for the 49th state鈥 effort saw a tremendous outpouring of generosity, seeing gifts of all sizes from alumni, students, parents, community partners, new and returning donors and more from across 35 states.

These donations 鈥 combined with those from other individuals and matching and challenge donors 鈥 will have a lasting impact on the lives of students. Gifts were made to scholarship, program, excellence and research funds in areas ranging from engineering, health, business, arts and sciences, career and technical education, as well as the Consortium Library, ANSEP, our community campuses and athletics.

鈥淐ampus might look different this year, but the amazing work of our faculty, staff and students remains as strong as ever,鈥 said 香港六合彩资料 Chancellor Cathy Sandeen. 鈥淕iving Day is an opportunity to support that work and help ensure our hometown university continues to grow and thrive."

The year has been a challenging one for many, with 香港六合彩资料鈥檚 faculty, staff and students displaying unprecedented resilience during the course of normal academic responsibilities. The support shown by the community during Giving Day reinforces that work and the joy 香港六合彩资料 takes in educating Alaska鈥檚 future generations.
