Once a year, every corner of �鶹��Ƶ unites for a 24-hour period, �鶹��Ƶ Vision Day, coming together with the singular goal of moving George �鶹��Ƶ forward.

Each year, the Office of Advancement and Alumni Relations holds a celebration of faculty and staff generosity and commitment, and this year debuted two awards highlighting a faculty member and a staff member who embody the many ways in which the George �鶹��Ƶ community gives to its students and programs.

Victor and Diane Hoskins are actively contributing to George �鶹��Ƶ’s work to spur the innovative expansion of opportunity in Northern Virginia. In honor of their generous gift of $50,000, a conference space in the �鶹��Ƶ Enterprise Suite will bear their name.

James W. “Jimmy” Hazel, JD ’84, has led a life of service to the Commonwealth of Virginia—and to �鶹��Ƶ. He recently added to his considerable legacy with a gift of $1 million for the Smithsonian-�鶹��Ƶ School of Conservation.

On June 10, 2024, more than 110 golfers came together at Westfields Golf Club to support first-generation students through �鶹��Ƶ’s Diversity Scholarship Golf Classic.

Students, donors, and �鶹��Ƶ staff enjoyed an evening of gratitude at this year's Scholarship Dinner, with 200 guests in attendance to hear students’ stories of impact. More than 1,100 scholarships have been awarded in FY 24, totaling more than $3.5 million.

Once a year, �鶹��Ƶ invites its community—alumni, faculty, staff, students, and their families–to unite in philanthropy on �鶹��Ƶ Vision Day. This year, on April 4, they did so enthusiastically, raising $1,309,345 for the university’s students, research, and programs.

CACI International Inc is once again supporting �鶹��Ƶ students through a $200,000 gift to establish the CACI Scholars Program. The program helps selected scholars secure science, technology, engineering, or mathematics-related positions upon graduation.

�鶹��Ƶ is following a philanthropic tradition, designating the first Thursday of April for donors to come together to support the university. On April 4, 2024, �鶹��Ƶ Vision Day celebrates the power of making a difference through philanthropy.

�鶹��Ƶ's Alumni Association has established the Amy Takayama-Perez Memorial Student Book Award to honor �鶹��Ƶ alumna and former colleague Amy Takayama-Perez, BA Sociology ’96, MEd ’02.
