The University of Michigan-Flint has big plans for this year’s Giving Blueday event to be held on March 10. The campus has established a very ambitious $1M goal and is now unveiling plans for thanking those who support the campus’ fundraising efforts and make a gift to UM-Flint on Giving Blueday.

To celebrate those who support the Flint campus this year on Giving Blueday, the University will be hosting an “Evening with Erin” virtual event on March 20, with Erin Darke. This virtual event, open to those who make a gift on Giving Blueday, will begin at 6:30 pm EST on Saturday, March 20, and will be an hour-long conversation with Erin Darke, with time for an audience Q&A session.

The discussion will be hosted by Theatre and Dance Emerita Professor Carolyn Gillespie and will highlight Erin’s acting career as well as reflections and memories of her time on campus as a student. Professor Gillespie joined the UM-Flint faculty in 1987 after a dozen years at the University of Texas at Dallas. She is the recipient of a number of awards for her creative output, as well as for her teaching and service to the University and to the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival.

More information will be posted as the event comes closer to its Due Date. For now you can go here. https://givingblueday.org/o/university-of-michigan/i/giving-blueday
