The University of Miami celebrated its first annual Giving Day on April 8, 2019, which was a 24-hour online and social media extravaganza that brought together students, faculty, staff, alumni, and the UM community in an effort to support, celebrate, and give back to the University. This particular day was chosen because the University of Miami was officially incorporated on April 8, 1925.
The collection contains a cardboard "giving box," filled with promotional posters, flyers, postcards, and other memorabilia, such as a luggage tag, balloons, an acrylic standee, and a t-shirt.
