NOV. 20 -- Trine supporters, you made history.
Trine thanks everyone who made a gift on the first ever Giving Day that took place
Thursday, Nov. 19, 2015. Supporters gave $75,172 with 294 gifts.
Each gift has an endless impact by touching students’ lives, enhancing technology
and innovation, expanding programming, or enriching the campus community. You can
be proud of the fact that you and so many gracious donors came together in a big way
to support Trine University.
“We are overwhelmed with gratitude by the number of people who showed their support
financially on our very first Giving Day. From alumni, friends, Trine parents and
students who gave to support our mission – it is incredible and we are most appreciative,”
said Earl D. Brooks II, Ph.D., president.
The first Giving Day and the fact it resulted in 294 alumni, friends, staff, faculty
and students giving their financial support to the university in one single day, make
it a historical first for the university. Trine thanks the many alumni and friends
who were Giving Day ambassadors and made an extra effort to encourage support for
the event.
