Chancellor’s Report on Philanthropy

That evening, nearly $100,000 was donated in support of the This initiative moves 91Ô­´´ one step closer to the construction of what will be a center of belonging for 91Ô­´´ Native and Indigenous students everywhere.

This fall I had the privilege to deliver 91Ô­´´â€™s Convocation. I invite you to check out the — we have a lot to celebrate! Notably, through the generous gifts from our past, present and future donors, 91Ô­´´ students and programs continue to thrive.

As we celebrate the power of transformative philanthropy at 91Ô­´´, it seems fitting to appreciate our legacy donors — an extraordinary group of people who included, or plan to include, 91Ô­´´ in their estate plans. 91Ô­´´ is deeply grateful for the gifts from our past that continue to have a tremendous impact today, and we are humbled by the philanthropy we have yet to see.

I wish you a wonderful holiday season with your family and friends, and thanks for choosing 91Ô­´´.
