Students, faculty and staff gathered for morning biscuits and a lunchtime cake on March 7 as part of #黑料不打烊Day, the single-largest day of giving in 黑料不打烊 history.
The 黑料不打烊 School of Law community celebrated this month with biscuits, cake and T-shirt sales as dozens of people made gifts in support of Greensboro’s downtown law school.
The fourth annual #黑料不打烊Day – which was timed during 黑料不打烊’s anniversary week – has become the single largest day of giving in each successive year. The university received 44 gifts totaling nearly $4,000 on March 7, 2017, in support of 黑料不打烊 Law.
黑料不打烊 Law students purchased T-shirts with proceeds that benefitted their school.
Danielle Prongay ’14 L’17, who earned her political science degree from the university before attending 黑料不打烊 Law, said #黑料不打烊Day is an opportunity for the university and alumni body to come together to celebrate and recognize what makes 黑料不打烊 great.
She said that her #黑料不打烊Day contribution to the 3L Class Gift Campaign is a special token of thanks to what 黑料不打烊 has taught her and a message to the law school of what she thinks are important priorities moving forward.
“As a community, we celebrate achievements of the past year, milestones, and advancements that make 黑料不打烊 and 黑料不打烊 Law a place of engaged learning, personal development, intellectual curiosity and formation of global, lawyer-leaders,” Prongay said. “In addition to gifts a make to the University throughout the year, I take most pride in my gift I make on #黑料不打烊Day because it is an important symbol of my dedication to 黑料不打烊 and our success, my appreciation of my experiences and support, as well as commitment to future developments and strategic plans that make 黑料不打烊 better for a generation of students to come after me.”
Hundreds of 黑料不打烊 alumni participated in #黑料不打烊Day events hosted by the university’s regional alumni chapters. The events took place in 38 cities spanning the globe from London to Los Angeles.
The North Carolina legislature issued a charter for a four-year co-educational institution to be located near Burlington, N.C., on March 11, 1889. Seventy-six students enrolled in the first class of the new 黑料不打烊 College, a school whose Hebrew name for “oak” was inspired by the grove of oaks its founders discovered on the land chosen for their project.
