SEMday By Ashley Morlock Annual Fund Manager
The early days of the pandemic shuttered in-person classes, but the entire community rallied in support of SEM on May 6, 2020. Thank you for making our 7th annual SEMday celebration a record-breaking success! SEMday is a one-day giving challenge to alumnae, faculty, parents, friends, and students. Each and every gift makes a difference, but the collective impact of SEMday gifts is enormous.
SEMday usually celebrates student experiences and opportunities, but the Covid-19 pandemic brought to light the flexibility, ingenuity, and compassion of SEM’s remarkable educators. SEMday 2020 highlighted faculty dedication and invited donors and friends to submit public messages of gratitude and encouragement. Spurred on by photos, social media posts, and email updates throughout the day, the community came together to bolster the annual fund at a critical time, providing much-needed operating support, technology, and resources to support distance learning. Together, 216 donors
raised over $86,924.83 for the annual fund.
