About

Southern's Day of Caring is committed to helping enrich the lives of students, and help provide immediate financial support to current students who face unexpected costs related to their health and wellness, access to technology and basic human needs.

Southern is a social justice university built on the pillars of dignity, respect, kindness, compassion, and civility.

Together we are ONE Southern, and we will work together to assure every student receives an exceptional education and the support they need.

Power Hours!

A Power Hour is an exciting, high energy challenge where donors compete to raise the most gifts in one hour for their favorite funds. 

Each Power Hour has two winners - one from athletics and one from the rest of campus. The fund with the most unique donors during the designated hour will receive a bonus. Plan your donations and rally your colleagues and friends to win a bonus. Winners are announced on social media and on this page!
