Phil's Day

Loves when a lot of planning and hard work come together in a fantastic celebration. Today was Phil's Day on the UI Campus. Phil's Day is a day to celebrate (and thank) our generous alumni and friends whose donations make the UI experience remarkable. I am grateful for all the people who helped me make this day a reality - especially for Kaitlyn Kemna (the student who works with me), Lynette Marshall (the UI Foundation President and CEO who supported the vision and all the work), Gary Seamans (our special guest, UIF board member, generous donor, charismatic speaker and a personal inspiration) and Mitch (yes, my husband who supported me each day and all day today). The success came from a village.

Photos and more reflection to follow when I'm not exhausted!!!
