Day of Giving Download

Twenty-four hours of boundless pride.

In March, hundreds of alumni, students, families, current and retired faculty and staff, corporations and organizations, and friends of West Chester University participated in the third annual Day of Giving. Providing scholarship dollars, ensuring our students have access to the advanced technology they need to stand out in their fields, helping student-athletes compete at the highest level, and creating ongoing opportunities for growth outside the classroom — it’s our shared mission on Day of Giving, and every day.
