A look back at what ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ families accomplished last fiscal year.
The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Office of Parent Engagement recently released its Impact Report for the 2019-2020 fiscal year. See the full report below:
What started as a typical school year quickly turned into something none of us could have expected. Even so, the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community adapted to changes while maintaining strong connections and deepening support for students.
By giving to ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ last fiscal year, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ families played an active role in opening the door to a life-changing education for deserving students. In turn, these students will provide the dynamic leadership our world needs now more than ever, as we face challenges including a global pandemic and the injustices of racism.
Read below some of the highlights of the year that exemplify what ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ families can accomplish when they come together.
Last fall, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ families showed that ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ connections are truly lifelong as 2,359 family members engaged with each other and ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ on campus and across the country through attending or volunteering with Summer Welcome Events, Family Weekend, and ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ LEADS Campaign regional events.
Nearly 5,500 ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ families made a gift last year, all of which count toward the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ LEADS Campaign. Additionally, volunteers helped host over 2,600 
attendees at a series of regional events to support the launch of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ LEADS.
Over 6,100 gifts were made on ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Day to help reach a record-breaking $2.5 million to enhance the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ student experience.
Soon after ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Day, COVID-19 took hold of our country. The ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community pulled together in this time of crisis, in part by supporting the °ä³ó²¹±è±ô²¹¾±²Ô’s 
Fund, which helps members of the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community facing unforeseen hardships. A new fund, Students First, was created to support students whose families are facing economic hardship due to the pandemic.
While the year did not end as anyone could have expected, the Office of Parent Engagement is ready to navigate the road ahead alongside the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community. Whether it is in person or on campus, in another city across the world or in a virtual room, what makes the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ community special is collective strength, commitment and generosity.
