On our 8th annual day of giving (UIndy Day: April 18, 2023), the UIndy Day video inspired alumni to leave a legacy that will impact current and future students at the University of Indianapolis. We are proud that the video was created 100% in-house with a minimal budget. It was written by the annual-giving staff and filmed and produced by students on the UIndy TV staff. The video helped inspire the most successful UIndy Day in the university's history, with 956 donors, an increase from 668 donors in the prior year. We received $160,330 as a result of our UIndy Day campaign. The goal of the video was to showcase the legacy and impact of alumni support and include the best parts of being a UIndy Greyhound. This was accomplished by featuring alumni interacting with students at a variety of significant areas on campus. The video evoked a feeling of nostalgia and included a nod to our founders and the original building on campus, Good Hall. In addition, the video featured our mission of service and special themes tied to our mascot, the Greyhound. The legacy of alumni impact was highlighted, as the narrator ends with, “A Hound will always have a home because of Greyhounds who give back.”
