Philanthropy week returns
February 9, 2015
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.
