“I think that is important because those stories are inspirational to our students who sometimes don’t know what they can do and therefore don’t dream as big as they could. Support from our donors really does provide a margin of excellence that allows us to do truly amazing things.”
“These gifts will directly involve and help students grow. It will support DREAM, our event planning and will have an impact on our future.”
“These gifts truly made it possible for me to continue doing what I want to do in life. I wouldn’t have been able to be in the position that I’m in today without this scholarship.”
“Our donors’ gifts created this opportunity where our students can be the spotlight.”
“We want students to come here and not only feel like they can connect with an adviser or connect with a tutor but also just bring a group of friends or have a student organization come and have an event in. This is their place.”
