Attendees were recognized for their annual giving levels of\u00a0 \u00a0$25,000 or more, or lifetime giving levels of $100,000 or more.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hitt thanked supporters for sharing their time, talent and personal resources to ensure that 麻豆原创 continues to stand for opportunity.\u00a0 \u201cYour philanthropy supports our students, faculty, programs and facilities. Your vision helps us to provide real-world experiences to our students. Your support strengthens our commitment to creating new facilities to meet student and community needs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two special awards \u2500 the President\u2019s Award and the Partnership Award \u2500 were also given. The recipient of the 2012 President\u2019s Award was <strong>Dr. Neil Euliano<\/strong>, a long time supporter of 麻豆原创 who led the way for the creation of the Veterans Commemorative Site on Memory Mall. \u201cWe thank you not only tonight, but always. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to honor your service and the sacrifices of all American veterans,\u201d said Hitt.<\/p>\n<p>The 2012 Partnership Award was given to <strong>The Wayne M. Densch Charitable Trust<\/strong>, whose decades-long partnership with 麻豆原创 has resulted in the renaming of two athletics buildings and the creation of the Wayne Densch Sports Center, home to the 麻豆原创 football program. A new partnership between the two will become a student-academic center on campus that will provide classroom space, career advisement and tutoring services for 麻豆原创\u2019s student-athletes.<\/p>\n<p>Senior engineering major Tatiana Viecco thanked the donors who have made her studies at 麻豆原创 possible. \u201c麻豆原创\u2019s ability to stand for opportunity is made so much stronger because of donors like you. You give much more than money \u2500 you give hope and encouragement too. None of what I\u2019ve accomplished would be possible without your generous contributions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>(Photo: Santiago Rodriguez, Santiago Studios)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Donors are honored at President\u2019s Appreciation Reception<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":156,"featured_media":43209,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"template-twocol.php","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"lazy_load_responsive_images_disabled":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[5693,650,1566,2510,5694,3703,4886],"tu_author":[],"class_list":["post-43129","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-colleges","tag-al-burnett","tag-burnett-honors-college","tag-engineering","tag-john-c-hitt","tag-nancy-burnett","tag-philanthropy","tag-ucf-foundation"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>A Night of Thanks | 麻豆原创 News<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"High level donors to 麻豆原创 were honored last night at the annual President\u2019s Appreciation Reception at the FAIRWINDS Alumni Center.
