¾¨Ó㴫ý will celebrate G.I.V.E. Day 2017 on Wednesday, February 8, 2017 from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. in the McKelvey Campus Center. Students are encouraged to write handwritten postcards to mail, as well as create thank you videos and photos to share with donors via social media.
G.I.V.E. Day celebrates the importance of giving by expressing our gratitude to the College’s donors. “Just about every aspect of ¾¨Ó㴫ý is touched by the generosity of our donors,” says Amber Scalfari, Assistant Director of Donor Relations. “Our donors make it possible for current and prospective students to receive an affordable education at ¾¨Ó㴫ý.”
G.I.V.E. Day (Give. Involve. Value. Engage.) is the day of the year when tuition coverage ends and giving from ¾¨Ó㴫ý alumni and friends covers the remainder of the cost. Students are encouraged to:
• Give financially and make ¾¨Ó㴫ý a philanthropic priority throughout their life.
• Involve their time and talent.
• Value their degrees and protect their personal investments.
• Engage with students, fellow alumni, and ¾¨Ó㴫ý students.
Madison Ordonez ‘17, ¾¨Ó㴫ý Fund Phonathon Ambassador and student supervisor, is excited that ¾¨Ó㴫ý has a day dedicated to thanking donors for their continued support.
“Although we thank our donors a lot when we speak over the phones at phonathon,” says Ordonez, “it’s nice to have a day when students can express how grateful we truly are. We get to witness their generosity first-hand and G.I.V.E. Day is our opportunity to express our gratitude.”
In addition to decorating the McKelvey Campus Center, there will also be multiple photo areas, music by Titan Radio and light refreshments.
