A Message from Betsy Riedman '88

Dear alumni and friends,

I would like to offer my special thanks to all of you who supported Nazareth this past year. I am especially grateful to those of you who supported the Nazareth Annual Fund, and in doing so, fulfilled the most critical needs of the College.

The Nazareth Annual Fund is a vital source of support for our students with the power to change their lives and, in turn, the lives of those around them. Gifts to the annual fund support the greatest needs for students: new career-boosting programs, exciting travel and student life experiences, diversity and inclusion initiatives, and most importantly student financial aid. With 100% of our incoming students currently receiving assistance, a robust annual fund is critical!

Your giving spirit shone especially bright on April 6, 2022. Our fifth annual Naz Giving Day message was “Shine a Light,” and we are so thankful to donors who made a collective impact and brightened the Naz experience for our students in such a big way. Naz Giving Day donors gave 1,971 gifts and raised $523,322 to support current and future students. Read more about the widespread impact of Naz Giving Day 2022.

Thank you for providing the resources that have enabled our students to emerge as changemakers and excel so brilliantly in their studies, their work, and their community service. I hope you feel the same pride in their accomplishments and the continued strength of Nazareth as an institution as I do. Your generosity has made both possible.

With thanks, 

Betsy (Holden) Riedman ’88
Nazareth College Trustee
