A scholarship to the University of Miami changed Judi Prokop Newman's life. Robert and Judi Newman, B.B.A. '63 have pledged $500,000 in scholarship support and challenged alumni to give what they can and support students and the university. The Newman Alumni Loyalty Challenge aims to inspire other alumni to follow a longstanding tradition of sustained philanthropic support.
The Challenge is simple: We need 10,700 alumni to renew their support to the University of Miami by May 31, 2014. We are only 1,329 donors away from our goal!
Give today, any amount, anywhere at the University of Miami, and help us achieve this challenge by May 31, 2014. GIVE TODAY |
