Emily Dabrow ’18 has made her first gift to the University.
“I can’t explain enough how important it is to find ways to give back to the place that has provided so many great opportunities for students. … If alumni do not remain loyal and engaged, those same opportunities will not be available to future students. … The smallest gifts still make a difference, especially when you direct them towards programs that you are personally passionate about!”
—Emily Dabrow ’18
