Boxer Giving Day 2025 proved once again that when Boxers come together, amazing things happen! Over 36 hours, alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends came together to show their Boxer Spirit, making 820 gifts and raising an incredible $263,386.37 to support scholarships, programs, and opportunities that help students thrive.

Together, we also raised an incredible $115,787.15 for the Boxer Spirit Fund, which provides essential support to students and helps offset tuition costs so our students can thrive at ��ɳ����.

But that’s not all—we also unlocked an astounding $113,000 in challenge funds! Thanks to generous donors who stepped up with challenge gifts, every donation went even further.

From scholarships that make education more accessible to programs that enhance the student experience, these funds will make a real difference in the lives of ��ɳ���� students. Whether you gave, shared, or cheered us on, thank you for being part of this movement!

While Boxer Giving Day may be over (until next year), the impact of our community's generosity will be felt for years to come.

Join us on March 12 for a reception celebrating our current exhibition of the collection of local feminist activist Mary Whitmore. The exhibit includes protest memorabilia, photos, and rare publications from the 1970s to the present related to her lifetime of work for women's rights and gender equity.

Commencement isn't possible without a great event staff team! Over 50 individuals are needed to greet guests, assist with student line-up, drive a golf cart, and countless other ways at both the morning (approx. 7-11 a.m.) and afternoon (approx. 11:30-3:30 p.m.) ceremonies on Saturday, May 17. Sign up to work a four- or eight-hour shift and earn floating holiday hours (salary/exempt employees only) or hourly staff are paid for hours worked but please make arrangements with your supervisor first. Also, enjoy snacks, beverages, and pizza in the event staff lounge.
