Dear Eagle Nation:
It was an evening of elegance, as more than 700 of our friends and supporters donned their best looks for a night of glitz, glamour, entertainment, and celebration at Coppin State University's 2nd Annual Gala. Held on Friday, May 4, at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront Hotel, the signature philanthropic event highlighted the positive impact and achievements of Coppin and its students.
| |
I challenged our supporters and friends to consider how they could do more to help our students BE MORE! As "One Coppin," we all have a responsibility to ensure their dreams of becoming a college graduate become a reality.
Since 1900 we have shown ourselves as a university that is invaluable and irreplaceable. At Coppin, we have an unwavering and unmatched commitment to nurturing potential and transforming lives.
