It’s Giving Day at UF!🐊#StandUpandHoller for Museum Studies!

Heartbroken over recent news. May we listen, may we learn, and may we stop the senseless perpetuation of racism in this country. #BlackLivesMatter

“Today is a day for all of us in philanthropy, most particularly those of us who are white, to hold ourselves and our institutions to account. We must take responsibility... and take hold of this moment to bring change now.”

Chandler Sandy is the museum studies program assistant and 3rd year graduate student, graduating in the fall with a concentration in fundraising management. Currently, she's working on her thesis, which focuses on engaging donors or color and rethinking the business model.
