Day of Giving 2021

All in Together Day of Giving

Join ǿմý University and the Mandel School on Tuesday, June 8, as we go ALL IN Together to celebrate our ninth annual Day of Giving.

Day of Giving empowers alumni, students, faculty, staff, family and friends from across the globe to go #ǿմýALLinTogether to support academic success, student scholarships, research, emergency student funds, COVID-19-related initiatives and more!

Schools and departments are seeking support for various efforts to make both immediate and long-lasting impacts across the university such as:

  • Expanding educational access to students through scholarships,
  • Addressing student emergencies in real time,
  • Embracing diversity, inclusion and equity, and
  • Committing to a better future for the ǿմý community.

The Day of Giving is a campaign that works only through the collective support of the campus community. When you support the Mandel School, you are ensuring our students have the resources they need to be successful throughout their university experience.
