Thank You from University Advancement!

National Philanthropy Day is November 15, an annual celebration of the importance of coming together for the common good. It’s a perfect day to commemorate at WPI, where our community of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends collaborates every day on innovations that have a positive impact on the world. Join the Student Alumni Society, Student Philanthropy Ambassadors, and members of the University Advancement team in the Rubin Campus Center on Friday, Nov. 15, from 11 am to 2 pm, for giveaways, snacks, and fun activities that honor all the ways we give back—to each other, to our communities, and to WPI.

Please also save the date for Giving Day, Feb. 5-6, 2025. Be part of the action during 1,865 minutes of giving! Are you especially passionate about a WPI program or project? Use your gift to inspire others' support by setting up a challenge or matching gift. Are you a Giving Day enthusiast who loves watching how excited and competitive our student groups get on the Giving Day leaderboards? Contribute to the leaderboard funds, which are awarded to the top-performing and most-improved student groups. If you’re interested in these opportunities to support our students, please email Liz Chirico at ejchirico@wpi.edu. After Giving Day, get ready for Goat Nation Giving Challenge, supporting WPI Athletics, in March 2025!

As we approach Thanksgiving, University Advancement extends its gratitude to the WPI community for the support we receive from you each day. We look forward to celebrating with you on Philanthropy Day, Nov. 15!
