On Feb. 26 and 27, Ivy Tech Community College will join nearly 100 educational institutions worldwide to participate in the second annual Student Engagement and Philanthropy Day. The initiative, organized by Council for Advancement and Support of Education Affiliated Student Advancement Programs (CASE ASAP), is designed to increase student understanding of philanthropy and grow engagement on campuses.
Institutions from the United States, England, Canada, Australia and other countries will participate in the event through various activities, including “thank-a-thons,” day-long social media campaigns and student video interviews on what giving means to them.
The Ivy Tech Alumni Association and Ivy Tech Foundation are partnering with Student Government Association and Campus Activities Board to offer students the opportunity to sign thank you cards for employees who have made gifts to the Ivy Tech Foundation, which supports scholarships for Ivy Tech students. Students who sign cards will be encouraged to participate in an #ivypride Instagram campaign.
The day aims to grow student understanding of philanthropy and to show students how giving impacts Ivy Tech. It also is meant to increase student engagement in giving now and as future alumni.
CASE ASAP provides programming, services and resources in advancement, including fundraising and alumni relations, for students and advisers at student alumni associations, student foundations and similar organizations at colleges and universities that are members of CASE.
Student Engagement and Philanthropy Day is part of CASE ASAP’s goal to foster and enhance student involvement in all areas of advancement—including fundraising, alumni relations, communications and marketing.
