Giving Day

The University of Utah's Annual Giving Day is this Tuesday and Wednesday, February 23-24.  Yes, I know that's two days, but we try to make everything in higher education as complicated as possible.  Technically, the Giving Day is an 1,850 minute fundraising effort, with 1850 being the year of the University's founding.  See, it all makes sense in the end.

If you are a fan of this blog, please consider making a donation.  My fellow faculty and I will match the first $3,050 in donations and once we've reached $3,000, Dave and Johanna Whiteman, who started our Mountain Meteorology Fund, will contribute an additional $5,000.  

There are two options for donations.  The first is our Mountain Meteorology Fund, which supports interdisciplinary research and education to improve the understanding and prediction of weather and climate processes in complex terrain.  In other words, the things I write regularly about on this blog.  To contribute to the Mountain Meteorology Fund, click here and follow the directions at upper left.  

The second is the Atmospheric Sciences Scholarship Fund, which is more critical than ever for our undergraduates.  To donate to the Atmospheric Sciences Scholarship Fund, click here and then click "give" in the upper right.   

If you are reading this on Monday, just before Giving Day, no worries, your donation will still be matched!

Thanks in advance for any contributions.
