Nov 29, 2017

Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ (Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­) participated in the global giving movement, Giving Tuesday, this year on Nov. 28, and raised $11,589 in the first day of the #GiveTueÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ campaign that will run through Dec. 31.

The campaign’s launch day featured more than 50 donors supporting Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­â€™s innovators, researchers, pharmacists, leaders, scientists, entrepreneurs, pioneers, and change makers.

“We are overwhelmed and pleased with the outpouring of support for Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ students and alumni—our change makers,â€� said Christa Oudshoorn-Hobo, alumni engagement manager at Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­. “It’s clear that donors realize their support can literally change the world.â€�

Donors had the option of directing their gifts toward scholarships, professional development, faculty support and research, nuts and bolts (facility upkeep), and innovation.

During the #GiveTueÂé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ launch day, students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends of Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ wrote their names on Post-It notes inside the Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­ Café. Students could even donate to the campaign by adding $2 directly to their meal purchase and will until the end of the semester.

Additionally, the first 100 donors received a free Âé¶¹´«Ã½Ó³»­-branded t-shirt, while donations above $75 received a free gift.
