A Day of Giving Thanks
The Student Plaza Center was the place to be on April 7, 2016 when the University of Houston celebrated Philanthropy Awareness Day. Each Spring, the Office of Annual Giving sets aside one day where students can say thank you to the generous giving community who have impacted their student experience. While over 300 students attended the event, we would like to share an excerpt of their heartfelt appreciation.
