On March 23, 2022, Trustee Emerita Helene Sullivan ’79 challenged our community to make at least 500 donations of $125 or more for Giving Day.
By the end of the 24-hour crowdfunding event, 503 Panthers had met her challenge. In response to our community’s generosity and to commemorate our 125th anniversary, Trustee Emerita Sullivan pledged $125,000 to establish a new endowed scholarship for first-generation students.
