April 24 events celebrated benefits of philanthropy
On Tuesday, April 24, 2012, the University of Iowa and the UI Foundation celebrated the first-ever Phil’s Day on campus. Short for philanthropy, “Phil” represents all who donate to the UI, as well as the students, faculty, and staff who benefit from those gifts. Photo by Jill Tobin.
On Tuesday, April 24, 2012, the University of Iowa and the UI Foundation celebrated the first-ever Phil’s Day on campus. Short for philanthropy, “Phil” represents all who donate to the UI, as well as the students, faculty, and staff who benefit from those gifts.
Using the popular Phil Was Here logo and theme, about 40 campus buildings were tagged to show the impact philanthropy has at Iowa. UI alumnus and longtime contributor Gary Seamans (1971 B.S.E.E.) presented a philanthropy lecture, and students, faculty, and staff were invited to sign thank-you cards that will be sent to contributors. The inaugural Phil’s Day was a success—learn more about Phil at www.uifoundation.org/philsday.
