Tuesday November 29

Stand with Hawks on November 29, 2022 for #GivingTuesday! This 24-hour online giving event will benefit the Help a Hawk Fund, which was established to provide aid to students who are experiencing financial hardship due to sudden, unexpected, or unforeseen circumstances that impact a student's ability to remain in school. 

Examples of how Help a Hawk funds may be used:

  • Hawk Pantry and Hawk Feeder micro-pantries
  • Tuition assistance
  • Technology and educational supplies
No student should have to choose between affording to live and affording to learn.
Want to donate directly to a particular program or department? Not a problem! You will be able to select other designations when you make your contribution.
