The new record surpasses last year's record of $1.04 million.

"UT is dedicated and committed to serving the students, and this year we again exceeded our goal," said Keith Todd, vice president of development and university relations. "All gifts, regardless of size, make a difference. Together, we can positively impact UT now and for years to come.

Held annually, UT Give Day seeks to rally the UT extended community around the University and share why it's important. Activities this year included the Minaret Market and Minarets at Sunset, as well as the inaugural UT Give Day 5K Fun Run/Walk. The popular Spirited Spartan Social Media Ambassador program, and the Minaret Climbers, in which UT alumni, faculty, staff, trustees, fellows, counselors and friends have volunteered to virtually climb the minarets through donations, also were featured.
