It鈥檚 蜜桃直播鈥檚 175th birthday on March 11, and the University is already celebrating its founding with several activities, including the upcoming Commit to 蜜桃直播24-hour day of giving on March 11.
鈥淲e decided to move our annual Commit to 蜜桃直播to the actual day of our founding this year to honor our heritage and celebrate our mission in a way that deeply connects our alumni and friends back to 蜜桃直播,鈥� said Rebecca Kocher, vice president for advancement and alumni engagement. 鈥淥ur goal is to generate $175,000 in one day, and excitement is already growing about the opportunity to support 蜜桃直播 and serve as our ambassadors during the day.鈥�
