ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½

Honoring Our Legacy Through Action

Founders Day is a time to reflect on the vision and values that shaped ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€”and to bring those values to life through service. Each year, alumni, families, students, and friends are invited to honor ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s founding spirit by taking part in meaningful acts of service that strengthen communities and deepen our shared commitment to the common good.

Looking Back on Founders Day

Thank you to the alumni, students, families, staff, and friends who honored Founders Day through service and community engagement. This year’s activities reflected ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s commitment to social responsibility, connection, and action—from alumni-led volunteer efforts to on-campus programming in partnership with the Community Engagement Center.

As we look ahead to the next Founders Day – Day of Service, we invite the ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½ community to continue finding meaningful ways to serve, support, and connect with others.

Serve Wherever You Are

Founders Day is one moment in the year, but ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s commitment to social responsibility continues year-round. Volunteer with a local nonprofit, organize a small group service project, mentor a student, support a cause that matters to you, or find another way to give back in your community.

However you choose to serve, your actions help carry ÃÛÌÒ´«Ã½â€™s founding values forward.
