Notes from the Nest
Let your thanks fly!
Since 2023, scholarship recipients have thanked their donors by writing hand-written notes during this award-winning annual gratitude event.
2026 Notes From the Nest will take place Oct. 12-13 at the Memorial Union.
2025 Recap
The third annual Notes From the Nest continued to be a success, surpassing participation of the previous year's event. Over two days, 2,100+ students came to the Memorial Union to write more than 3,400 thank you cards to scholarship donors. After the event, more than 1,000 digital thank you notes were submitted by online students and those who could not attend.
The combined efforts from students at the event and online brought the overall thank you note count beyond 4,400!
The event wouldn't have been possible without the help of 70+ volunteers from across campus. This year's event was smoother than ever with a more efficient check-in/check-out process and a revamped method of sending online notes to donors.
