IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
As part of the State of the Center during Comets Giving Days, the Ackerman Center announced a gift of $1.1 million from the Edward and Wilhelmina Ackerman Foundation and a $100,000 gift to establish the Richard Gundy and Family Endowment by the Gundy family.
Today is the day, whether you are a loyal Comets Giving Days supporter or you are here for the first time, we invite all UT Dallas supporters to be a part of the sixth annual day of giving tradition. When the clock strikes 10 a.m. all are welcome and encouraged to COMETogether for 1,969 minutes and help UT Dallas discover new dimensions of inquiry, innovation ad creativity.
Make sure you are using #COMETogetherUTD on social media and sharing why you are supporting one of our more than 80 different groups across campus this Comets Giving Days. By sharing your love and support for UTD, momentum is gained and impact will run even further across campus groups.
Check back today and tomorrow to watch leaderboards, take part in matching gift opportunities, and help your favorite areas accomplish challenges that will unlock transformational gifts for the university.
Make your gift count today, because on April 7 at 6:49 p.m., Comets Giving Days 2022 will officially be over.
