Students Educating Students About Private Giving

The student-driven “Why Give?” Initiative, captured and produced by Purdue students in the video and photos below, was a week-long campus event held earlier this month highlighting the value and impact of private giving at Purdue University and the many benefits and opportunities students are granted because of it. Through this initiative, students also were able to show appreciation to loyal donors.

On February 15–19, members of the Purdue Foundation Student Board planned activities and events informing students about the ways in which private giving creates scholarships, supports faculty, builds state-of-the-art facilities, and launches programs to help Purdue provide higher education at the highest proven value.
