On April 5 and 6, Day of the Badger donors can unlock a $10,000 gift to the College of Letters & Science Annual Fund made possible by Nancy Obin Sukenik (BA, History, ’69). Sukenik hopes to inspire 100 L&S alumni and friends to support the college during this year's campaign, which will unlock this generous gift.
Sukenik graduated from UW-Madison with a BA in history and has long been one of the College’s closest supporters. She previously worked as the Vice President of Bankers Trust Company, and later served as President of NJO Associates.
Sukenik’s support for L&S has provided scholarships to low-income students, created research opportunities so students can receive hands-on experience in their field, and opened doors to internships through the L&S career services center, SuccessWorks.
This year, we ask you to join Nancy Obin Sukenik and answer her challenge to ensure these opportunities are available to the next generation of L&S alumni.
Beginning April 5 at 10:12am, visit the L&S giving page to make your commitment to our students’ futures.
