Your gifts this year helped students turn their passions into purpose and become difference-makers. Whether it was helping an earth sciences major study glaciers in Iceland on his way to a Department of State scholarship or helping a political science major earn a post in a D.C. public-policy think tank, every gift made an impact on today’s students and on the world those students will shape.
