| Description | Just A Taste is a virtual tasting event concept born out of the need for connecting with alumni, donors, and friends during COVID times. The format is highly customizable and creates a shared experience for all guests in attendance. |
| What makes this unique | We were able to bring a “taste” of our University’s community to guests across the United States and engage in conversations around the University and our greatest needs while having a shared and fun experience from the comfort of our homes/offices. |
| Outcome | Delighted! 97% of our guests participated in the tasting as a part of our annual meeting of our Board of Trustees. They were very engaged, entertained, and impressed by the quality of the products. |
