Community Breeds Success

Dequiala Kelly reflects on the importance of the community she found through Lucy’s Legacy, a program from the Office of First Year Experience and Retention Initiatives.
College students today experience many exciting opportunities but they are also enduring more stress than ever before. The weight of recent global events and increased educational expenses place emotional and economic pressure on students and their families. To match these pressures, we at UA Student Life seek philanthropic gifts for scholarships, program support, research and facility enhancements. These gifts will allow our students to better focus on their studies and participate in cocurricular activities that will enrich their student experience at the Capstone. Student Life opportunities promote engaged learning, holistic health and well-being, leadership development and student success. As we support our students through their time on campus, we see The Rising Tide propelling students toward success in their professional and civic lives. The Rising Tide Capital Campaign is a watershed opportunity for alumni, students and families, faculty and staff, patrons and supporters to play a part in shaping our students, and in many cases, changing their trajectory for the better. We have a renewed sense of purpose and a strong vision for the future at the Capstone, investing in key focus areas for a greater tomorrow.
