Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who contributed to our April 28 fundraising event, "Transforming Communities: One Communication Student at a Time." With your generosity, we raised about $75,000. These funds will go directly toward supporting transformational learning opportunities for our students, such as Andrew Doughman, Damon Di Cicco, and David Krueger.
Thank you to everyone who made this event possible, including:
- The Communication Alumni Board
- Auction item donors
- Event Coordinators: Lesa Linster ('00) and Katie Hamilton
- Special Guests: Wallie Funk ('10)
- Our student volunteers
We couldn't have done it without you! (If you missed the event, but would still like to make a donation, please visit our Make A Gift page.)
