Something We Can All Celebrate: Alumnae\/i Engagement makes Hollins better for everyone!<\/span><\/h3>\n

\n\n\tA<\/span>lumnae\/i engagement is growing! Fiscal Year 2024 was our second year quantifiably tracking alumnae\/i engagement, and we\u2019re thrilled to report a critical mass (22%!) of alumnae\/i engaged with Hollins through volunteerism, events, communication, and philanthropy! This represents a two percent increase over the previous fiscal year.<\/p>\n

We are deeply grateful for our volunteers, who are the lifeblood of the alumnae\/i association and help all of us to lift our eyes toward the bright future we are collectively building for Hollins. We also extend our gratitude to each alumna\/us who attended an event (in-person or virtual!) or took the time to write, email, or call us\u2014it is such a gift to see the alumnae\/i network in action! Lastly, we sincerely appreciate all who made a gift last year. Alumnae\/i gifts not only directly impact today\u2019s students but stand as a testament to the value of your degree and provide confidence to foundations, corporations, and major gift philanthropists investing in Hollins.<\/p>\n

Everyone who has attended Hollins has benefited from someone else\u2019s generosity of time, talent, or treasure. This tradition of giving back truly makes Hollins a better place for everyone. We look forward to engaging even more alumnae\/i in Fiscal Year 2025!<\/p>\n

How You Made a Difference in Fiscal Year 2024<\/h4>\n

\"How[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”2″ css=”.vc_custom_1742921602972{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}” accent_color=”#006F53″][vc_column_text css=””][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]\n\n\tS<\/span>ince 1943, alumnae\/i participation in annual giving has been a vital Hollins tradition, evolving from the Alumnae Fund\u2019s original mission of supporting the Alumnae Association to strengthening the entire college community. As Lindsey Mann Field \u201903 says in her profile on page 31, \u201cIt\u2019s not just about giving back\u2014it\u2019s about investing in the next generation of Hollins women, keeping our community strong, and preserving the magic of Hollins for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

Every act of generosity matters. Whether you volunteer, refer a student, or wear a Hollins hat to the supermarket, you carry the Hollins mission into the world. Likewise, when you give to the Hollins Fund, you take action to ensure the perpetuity of that mission. As Sarah Himes \u201923 shares in her profile on page 31, \u201cAll acts of generosity and financial gifts matter\u2014regardless of size.\u201d Major gift donors, including foundations and corporations, look to alumnae\/i participation as evidence that the cause they are being asked to support is worthy. So a big thank-you to the 19.3% of alumnae\/i who made their Hollins Fund gifts in fiscal year 2024\u2014your generosity inspires confidence and ensures Hollins\u2019 bright future![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”2″ css=”.vc_custom_1742921602972{margin-top: 20px !important;margin-bottom: 20px !important;}” accent_color=”#006F53″][vc_column_text css=””][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
