Benefactors' Brunch 2014 Highlights
The Office of Advancement held its annual Benefactors' Brunch on November 8th. The Brunch is an opportunity for scholarship donors to meet and mingle with the recipients of those scholarships, and for students to say thank you!
This year's Brunch included presentations from Physics/Engineering student Cassandra Seaney, and School of Business students Nicole Hamann & Shane Saginak. We also enjoyed performances by students and guest artists from the Departments of Theatre and Music. Much more was seen and done than we can show you in a few minutes, but thanks to Scholarship Manager Sandy Jameson's hard work, a rousing good time was had by all.
Scholarships are a very important part of the Office of Advancement's mission. If you would like to speak to someone about setting up a named scholarship, or contribute to a current one, please contact Sandy Jameson or call her directly at 970.247.7121.
