From midnight to midnight on May 1, Mustangs around the world are invited to show their MMU spirit loud and proud—to show that all of us have mercy and give mercy!  

The importance of this day is participation—not dollar amount. Every gift, no matter the size, counts and helps make the MMU experience possible. The goal is 501 donors in just 24 hours. If we reach that goal, an additional $25,000 gift will be donated by the Board of Trustees to the MMU Fund.

Staying after class for help was also difficult—the family had one car and Castaneda’s father worked late. On top of that, she struggled with ADHD but wasn’t diagnosed until the end of her junior year.
