Ignite: A Celebration of Philanthropy donor recognition event

Each Homecoming and Reunion Weekend, we gather to celebrate the achievements of our donors who have shown philanthropic leadership and who have made a difference at the school with their charitable giving. Invitations to this event are extended each August in recognition of the previous fiscal year’s giving (July 1 through June 30).

Additional special donor events on the university and school levels allow us the chance to recognize your lasting contributions through exclusive opportunities to meet with faculty and students, learn about current outreach and research efforts, tour our world-class facilities, and engage in dialogue with school and university leadership. 

University-wide donor recognition efforts include the annual Blue Bash Party and Momentum donor celebrations.
