Ella’s Design On Your Class Gift

“This is a design I’ve thought about often, as Honey the duck and her ducklings are a favorite cohort of mine on Canvas. Using the existing UChicago phoenix as a thought-provoking starting point, I think the image of Honey, rising with phoenix wings to protect her ducklings, speaks to a more localized resilience and regeneration that the Class of 2021 has experienced, rising not out of the flames, but to the challenge of protecting and standing with one another in the most challenging of times.” (Click to enlarge)

When our class supports the area on campus that mean the most to us, it sends a message that we care about uplifting our community. So to say thank you for giving back,  the Senior Class Gift Committee will give a Class of 2021 Gift to every single donor. Check out the perks of giving here.
