MANSFIELD, Pa. – Mansfield University will hold its inaugural 24-hour Giving Day from Thursday, April 7 at 10 a.m. to Friday, April 8 at 10 a.m.
During the fundraising event, alumni, faculty, staff,
community members, and friends of Mansfield University are encouraged to
support MU students by making a gift to academic and athletic scholarships.
Mansfield University has designed this day of giving as an
annual tradition where the campus and the region will come together in support
of their community and higher education.
“A college community is where economic development
should be rich. Working together with our community partners allows us to
continue shaping the future by enhancing our community’s prosperity and quality
of life,” said Director of Alumni Affairs & Advancement Casey Wood.
Thanks to generous university donors who support our
students, Mansfield University has realized enrollment growth for the third
consecutive year, marking a 10% gain in overall headcount since 2018.
“One hand feeds the other,” said Wood. “The more scholarships available, the more students we enroll. The more students we enroll, the more we positively impact our community. The more growth our businesses realize, the more attractive the landscape becomes for new business development. This is an important day for Mansfield.”
A variety of events will occur during Mansfield’s Giving
Day. Everyone near and far is encouraged to break out their red and black gear,
shop local, and proudly support Mansfield University and MU students who make
our communities so vibrant.
