2019 Summer Learning Program: July 1 to Aug. 1

Pilots Give 24-Hour Day of Giving, April 4-5

March 29, 2018

Mark your calendars for April 4-5 for UP’s first Day of Giving. Join University relations as we launch a 24-hour, online campaign focused on building resources for UP. Throughout the 24-hour period, there will be several on-campus hosted events including the Franz Grilled Cheese Machine, happy hour in the Pilot House, Portside with Pilots, Thankful for Donors Donuts, and more.

Pilots Give is our opportunity to reach out to Pilots near and far and reconnect them to campus. By encouraging philanthropy from those who have benefitted from a UP education, we can strengthen our programs at UP. The difference between a good school and a great school is giving. By creating an annual tradition through Pilots Give, we can continue to transform education for UP students today and tomorrow.

Everyone on campus can do something to help us reach our goal of 1,000 gifts in 24 hours. To learn more or volunteer, use this link or please contact Amy Eaton, development, at x8551 or eatona@up.edu.

2018 Holy Week, Good Friday Observance

March 23, 2018

University offices will be closed and no classes will be held on Friday, March 30, in observance of Good Friday, according to Tom Greene, provost. The closing actually begins at 4 p.m. on Thursday, March 29; no classes should continue beyond that time, and other events, apart from those connected with the religious observance of Holy Week, should not be scheduled from that time through Monday, April 2.

Even though classes are not scheduled for Easter Monday, University offices will be open as usual.

The early closing on Holy Thursday is intended to allow students, faculty, and staff to attend the Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper, which will be celebrated in the Chapel of Christ the Teacher at 4:30 p.m.

The University’s custom of closing on Good Friday is in acknowledgment of the special religious character of the day. In Catholic tradition, Good Friday has always been recognized as one of three important days (the Sacred Triduum) of religious observance: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday.

For more information contact the provost’s office at 7105 or staten@up.edu.
