Last year, the University awarded $182,500 in scholarships, and the new team wants to surpass that total. \u201cWe plan to expand on the University mission of providing access to students by offering larger, more impactful scholarships that could remove the barriers from those looking to earn a degree,\u201d says Development Associate Dana White.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To coincide with WilmU\u2019s fifth decade in existence, the team will kick off The 50th Anniversary Giving Day on Nov. 27, which happens to be National Giving Day. \u201cThis will be the institution\u2019s first-ever Giving Day campaign and all proceeds will support the Wilmington University scholarship fund,\u201d says Quinn, who hopes alumni and all others will save the date. \u201cWe want our alumni to be proud to be a part of this institution because we are especially proud of them.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wilmington University welcomes the new Development Office to the Alumni Relations Department.
