We all know how important it is to give students an
abundance of opportunities. Recently at an event on campus, the words "opportunity" and
"thank you" was heard a lot.
It was the Office of Development's annual scholarship luncheon where
students and donors meet. Nearly 300
people packed the Sangamon Auditorium lobby, and the conversation that was
heard repeatedly was students thanking donors for giving them the opportunity
to do things they otherwise may not have done.
We have so many great events on this campus, but this one has to be one
of the most special and rewarding events of all.
