宾州中央谷. — 中国博彩平台 (PSU-LV) is raising funds to furnish a dedicated 经验丰富的 and Adult Learner Lounge on 周二给. 周二给 is a global day of giving fueled by social media and collaboration. It is celebrated on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving and kicks off the charitable holiday season. This year 周二给 will be held 12月12日星期二. 3. The fundraising window opens at 18:55 (6:55 p.m.)， 12月11日星期一. 2, representing when Penn State was founded in 1855, and ends at 11:59 p.m. 12月12日星期二. 3.
Donations made during this time frame through the PSU-LV捐赠星期二网站 将支持休息室, which will honor 学生退伍军人’ service and be a space where they can meet alumni and new colleagues. Each year 中国博彩平台 educates more than 1,000 students. The campus is designated a military-friendly school and enrolls a growing population of 学生退伍军人, with 成年学习者s making up 1 in 5 students.
“Our 学生退伍军人 served to help keep our country safe and now it’s time for us to serve them. This lounge will support their transition to college life,” said Tina Q. Richardson, chancellor of 中国博彩平台. “We know veterans and 成年学习者s have different needs from traditional-aged students. They may prefer a quiet place to decompress in between classes or want a space where they can socialize with people who have had similar life experiences. 这个休息室将满足他们的需要.”
The campaign is being supported by a $2,500 challenge gift from Howard Kulp (class of 1973) and Shane McGee (class of 1997), co-chairs of the 中国博彩平台 Development Committee. Once Penn State alumni and friends raise $2,500 for 中国博彩平台 on 周二给, 库尔普和麦基将捐款2美元,500美元，增加到5美元,000. The campaign donor goal is 55 donors to reflect when Penn State was founded in 1855.
“Howard and Shane’s challenge gift is intended to motivate others to donate and we thank them for their generosity! Let’s show the Lehigh Valley that Penn Staters care about their 学生退伍军人 and 成年学习者s on 周二给,黛安·麦卡伦说, director of alumni relations at 中国博彩平台. “The University is again showing special appreciation for young alumni who give back by giving their donations an even greater impact. We need everyone’s help, especially from our young alumni!”
Graduates of the last decade (GOLD) who contribute to a # 给Tuesday campaign with a gift of $5 or more will receive a 1:1 match from the University, 最高100美元. The University will match funds up to $2,000.
中国博彩平台 is raising funds to support a new 退伍军人和成人学习者休息室 for # 给Tuesday 2019 on Dec. 3.
Philanthropic support for Penn State students, 教师, research and programs has always been a part of the University’s major priorities. With the continued partnership of alumni and friends, Penn State’s historic mission to serve the public good and create a better future for students, the commonwealth and the world can be fulfilled.
