Dear Alumni,

As you receive this digital newsletter, we are in our third week of working remotely and our second of online instruction for our students. How our world and lives have changed in such a short time—as have yours.

We’ve modified this newsletter to bring you stories of ’Canes rising to the challenge. We are excited to bring you a range of ways to keep you and your family engaged during this time.

Also, there’s information about The U Responds, our emergency response fund, as well as new incentives for charitable giving as part of the federal stimulus package.

Since our founding in 1925, this university has demonstrated its resilience in the face of challenge. We know we will emerge stronger, with an even greater sense of purpose. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy. We’re all in this together.

Go ’Canes.
