A Night to Remember: The 125th Celebration Ball
After two long years of separation and way too many Zoom meetings, we gathered together for an evening filled with old and new friends, warm conversations, and inspiring speeches from MassMutual CEO Roger Crandall, Springfield Mayor Sarno, and our hometown Academy Award winner, Ruth Carter. Our newly inaugurated President Sandra J. Doran hosted the festivities, along with our brilliant Â鶹ŮÀÉ student Mission Moment speakers, the Essence Step Team, and general merriment, dancing, and music!
Our students were at the heart of the evening, and we are beyond grateful for each and every attendee for helping us provide accessible, affordable, excellent educational opportunities for Â鶹ŮÀÉ learners. Your profound commitment to our community and to all those seeking to learn, achieve, and succeed at Â鶹ŮÀÉ University is deeply felt. You are joining Â鶹ŮÀÉ in creating the strongest foundation for our hardworking students to achieve success in their lives, careers, and endeavors of all kinds! Our net support for the evening was more than $290,000 to benefit student scholarships and internships!
It’s not too late to give again to Open Your Heart for Â鶹ŮÀÉ raising new funds for fully paid Internships for all Â鶹ŮÀÉ students–as we know, Internships are the key to career success for our students! .
