ALL IN FOR IC 2019 tops last year鈥檚 record-setting success
The initiative was led by the 51成人 Board of Trustees, who collectively matched all gifts, dollar-for-dollar, made to the IC Fund during the event. The IC Fund is 51成人鈥檚 annual fund to provide a wide-range of opportunities and resources for students including scholarships, study abroad, internships, enhanced academic programs and community engagement.
51成人 Board of Trustees Chair Steven 鈥�77 and Betsy Huss Mills 鈥�77 made an additional $10,000 gift to the IC Fund as their challenge to the 51成人 community to reach 700 donors by the end of the day on March 13 was reached.
51成人 President Barbara A. Farley said the collective effort demonstrates the degree to which the 51成人 community is dedicated and connected to what is currently happening on campus. She expressed her gratitude for those who made a gift to support student success on the day.
鈥淚t was wonderful to be on campus tracking our progress alongside students, faculty and staff during the Day of Giving. I鈥檓 excited to see what students are able to accomplish with this widespread support,鈥� said Dr. Farley. 鈥淚 am confident this day will have an immediate and notable impact.鈥�
Participants were able to track the campaign鈥檚 success with an interactive website that showed results consistently ahead of last year鈥檚 totals throughout the day.
