John R. Park was not only our first president, he was also a generous benefactor. So began a tradition of giving that has built this remarkable university, funded research and scholarships, and given rise to building after building. As we celebrate our 175th anniversary, we thank every generation who has contributed to the cause of this great institution. In honor of our founding year, Giving Day will last 1,850 minutes on April 8 & 9. Giving Day unites alumni, parents, friends, students, faculty & staff to raise critical funds for student success, research, health care, the arts & more. It’s your passion and our mission—together, we can achieve it! Follow uofugiving for updates and exciting announcements coming soon! #UGivingDay
