Philanthropy week returns

Jonathan Williams, News editor

The Student Alumni Association is planning a philanthropy week Feb. 11-13 aiming to thank donors and educate cur­rent students on the impact alumni have on the college.

On Wednesday, Feb. 11, SAA is planning a “Tag Day” where students can participate in a scavenger hunt that is in conjunction with signs posted outside of buildings that have been renovated or built because of alumni donations.

Students who find one of the five clues attached to some of the signs around campus can post a photo on Instagram and tag @Lin­fieldSAA.

Five winners will be cho­sen to receive a $25 gift card to the Golden Valley Brew­ery in downtown McMinn­ville.

SAA co-chair sophomore Danielle Duman hopes, “students become more aware of alumni impact … [that] every gift makes a dif­ference.”

SAA’s purpose is to con­nect students with alumni, create networking opportu­nities for students as well as to create pride and connec­tivity between currents students and alums of Linfield.

Students involved in SAA will also have tables at Dillin hall during lunch from 12-1 p.m. and dinner from 5-6 p.m. Feb. 11-13 where stu­dents can write thank you notes to donors.
