main content Come Join the Fun on Day of Giving March 5!

We’re celebrating the 10th annual Day of Giving on March 5!

Take advantage of the dry weather (we think!) and plan to join us outside for a full range of activities from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

You can:

* Grab a free cookie and apple (first come, first served!) kindly donated from Bon Appetit;

* Play traditional board games like Jenga and Connect 4;

* Enjoy some movement on the lawn with games and crafts such as Cornhole and Chalk Art;

* Check out invigorating student art on the art wall;

* Spin the wheel for L&C swag and other awesome prizes;

* Try a coffee drink from the Co-op’s pay-what-you-can coffee cart;

* Dance and sway to a student band called “What’s Her Face,” scheduled for 2 to 3 p.m. on the Stewart-Odell Annex Residence lawns;

* See what student clubs are up to and how you can get involved (JR Howard lawns and Fowler lobby from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the Stewart-Odell Annex Resident lawns from 2 to 3 p.m.); 

* And, of course, for Day of Giving, there will be an opportunity to make a gift in support of student scholarships, academic programs, career opportunities, and more!

Day of Giving is an annual fundraising event to fuel student success, support inspiring faculty, and celebrate the lifelong impact of an L&C education at the undergraduate college, graduate school, and law school.

This year, we’re pulling out all the stops to honor the people who make this place extraordinary: our alumni, faculty, staff, and students!

How You Can Help
