Today kicks off Purdue’s Day of Giving, and for the first time ever the unified Purdue Northwest Pride is competing as one school. Whether you’re a North Central or Calumet campus student, alum, or supporter, today is your day to help continue the pursuit of quality higher education in Northwest Indiana.
And if you’re looking for a good reason as to why you should show pride for Purdue Northwest today and participate in the Day of Giving, here’s our Top 5 reasons why you should:
1. This is your chance to make a big difference.
When you make a gift to Purdue’s Day of Giving you’re not only helping out your school but you’re also providing an opportunity for your school to earn additional monetary bonuses thanks to hourly bonus challenges for participation and donation leaderboards.
2. This is your chance to show your “Pride”.
Now that the North Central and Calumet campuses have unified into one school, the Day of Giving is the perfect opportunity for supporters, students, and alumni to come together as one school and show your new pride for the growing future of Purdue Northwest.
3. This is your chance to invest in the future of Northwest Indiana.
Participating in Purdue’s Day of Giving is your chance to make a difference in the education of thousands of students in Northwest Indiana.
Most of Purdue Northwest’s students are from right here in The Region, and many are going to stay right here in Northwest Indiana when they graduate. Meaning, your gift to Purdue Northwest is an investment right back into The Region.
4. This is your chance to be a part of something.
There are a ton of ways to get involved today! Even if a gift is not something you can do right now, you can still help spread the word and show your PNW pride by tweeting or posting on Facebook with the hashtags #PurdueDayofGiving and #HelloPNW.
5. This is your chance to have fun.
We all love getting together with friends and having a little fun, and today is a great way for PNW supporters, students, and alumni to connect on campus or online, and have fun getting to know other great people who care about higher education in Northwest Indiana.
Get out there and have some fun today with Purdue’s Day of Giving; make a gift if you want here; or help spread the word via social media with the official hashtags #PurdueDayofGiving and #HelloPNW.
But whatever you do, do it with PNW pride.
