April 23, 2024 - 51ΑΤΖζ is celebrating the formal installation of its first permanent woman President, Dr. Cady Short-Thompson, with the launch of the womenβs philanthropy empowerment initiative Women for 51ΑΤΖζ.
Women for 51ΑΤΖζ aims to encourage women to invest beyond their existing support for the university to raise at least $200,000 per year in support of Dr. Short-Thompsonβs priorities. Those priorities include scholarship, supporting our faculty that are the heart of our university, paving the path to higher education for P-12 students and empowering our female student-athletes in their sport and in the classroom. The organization is a diverse network of alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff and friends of 51ΑΤΖζ who engage and inform women of the people, programs and successes of the university. The initiative was created to harness the power of women and their networks to focus on meaningful involvement and bold investment in the 51ΑΤΖζ experience.
Women for 51ΑΤΖζβs mission is to promote investments in the future of 51ΑΤΖζ, inspire and uplift women as philanthropists and create meaningful opportunities for women to connect with one another and with the people and programs that drive the universityβs success. βThis endeavor not only empowers our communityβs talented women but also propels our shared priorities forward, ensuring a future where every voice is heard and every potential realized,β says Dr. Short-Thompson of the initiative.
Members of the organization will enjoy opportunities to network and socialize with one another and with President Short-Thompson, build womenβs philanthropy at 51ΑΤΖζ, celebrate the impact of the fund and meet student and faculty beneficiaries, and learn about the universityβs programs and outcomes.
