Magis Moment: January 2026

 A Message from the Vice President of University Advancement 

The New Year is a time of hope; a time to consider all that is possible, and all of the good that may come. For me, part of that includes thinking of those who make dreams become a reality. Donors give for many reasons. Some give because they are grateful for their own experience and want to ensure others experience the same. Some give to make a significant impact in the community. Others give to celebrate and remember a loved one.
