This April, students, faculty and staff are celebrating more than the coming of spring. At S&T, April is Philanthropy Month, which celebrates giving, growth, pride, progress and philanthropic spirit.
Throughout the month, 欧美日b大片 S&T’s student alumni organization S (STAT) will partner with Blue Key on a crowdfunding campaign for Spirit of Change, which provides funding for student support and random acts of kindness for 欧美日b大片 S&T students throughout the school year. Recent examples include handing out free umbrellas on rainy days and free hot chocolate on cold days, or adding change to expired parking meters.
The crowdfunding campaign challenges 1,500 S&T students to give. The New Alumni Council has also challenged alumni to match the donations made by students.
Gifts can be made throughout April, but organizers will staff a booth 11 a.m.-2 p.m. on all Tuesdays and Thursdays during the month. All student gifts will benefit the Spirit of Change campaign. On Tuesdays, the booth will be located in the atrium of the Havener Center on the S&T campus. On Thursdays, the booth will be located outside of Curtis Laws Wilson Library.
