| We can never say thank you enough. Having officially concluded our academic and fiscal year, I want to personally say thank you! The university is not able to accomplish what it does without your varied support. You volunteer your time in our chapters and on campus, engage with current students about their career paths and provide internship and job opportunities, cheer on our student-athletes at both home and away games, serve on reunion committees and as class agents, support formative projects such as the Lindley Center for Student Wellness and so much more. This last year was a massive success, and I look forward to students coming back in August to start another wonderful year here in Lexington. From everyone in Hotchkiss House and around campus, thank you! |
