A Super Success

Utica College Give Day 2019

Superheroes were everywhere on campus and on social media April 10, when the UC community came together to celebrate inspiring people and raise funds to support the College.

A total of 336 donors contributed more than $72,000 during the 24-hour event, and social media was buzzing with touching tales from alumni, students, faculty, and staff about the people who made a difference in their lives at UC. Among the many superheroes: Director of Alumni and Parent Relations Mark Kovacs and Geology Professor Sharon Kanfoush.

“Mark believed in me and encouraged me through some really difficult times," said Natalie Haig '02. "I am grateful every day for the efforts he put in, and I know I was one of thousands of students who benefited from his guidance."

"I have used what Dr. Kanfoush taught me each and every day in the classes I have taught over the past 13 years ... even her rock jokes," said Kevin Ford G'07.
