Giving Tuesday a time to show Shocker support
Giving Tuesday – the Tuesday following Thanksgiving – is a day set aside every year for Shocker Nation to come together in support of our students. This year, they are counting on that support more than ever. The pandemic has touched every part of student life at Wichita State. Each new development has tested students’ resilience and flexibility, but thanks to generous donors, resources are helping them adapt.
“A scholarship meant that I would be able to graduate in the two years as planned. It also meant generational change for my family. I am the first to complete high school on my mother’s side and I will be the first to complete college on my father’s side. For me and my family, this truly means breaking a cycle of generational poverty.”
Heather Hunter; General Studies Psychology; Soroptimist of Wichita Scholarship and Sid & Madeline Raile LAS Scholarship
This Giving Tuesday, we are encouraging donors to make a recurring monthly gift. For the price of a weekly cup of coffee, your $20-a-month gift will make a positive impact on students. The dollars donors like you give will support the Shocker Fund of the academic college of your choice. The Shocker Funds are flexible and able to meet students’ changing needs, which are critically important in times like these. When you join your fellow Shockers and make a gift before or on Giving Tuesday, you show students like Heather that someone believes in the power of their education. Make your recurring or one-time gift today by clicking here.
