Last December, we asked our Susquehanna community to support the university’s Student Care Fund, which helps our students experiencing unexpected financial need and ensures that the full Susquehanna experience is afforded to them. So many alumni, parents, faculty, staff, and friends answered the call. And in our recent One SU Day of giving you answered the call again and helped us grow the Student Care Fund to the largest it has ever been. Thank you.
COVID-19 is affecting all of us, but we’re doing everything in our power to ensure that our students are able to finish their academic semester, can retain a semblance of normalcy, and, most importantly, are being fed, protected, and cared for.
As we’ve experienced many transitions over the last few weeks, the Student Care Fund has:
- Helped students acquire the materials and technology needed to transition to online learning
- Provided grocery gift cards to students who experience food insecurity at home
- Assisted with gas cards for students who could not afford last minute travel
- Stocked a campus food pantry for students who remain on campus to use outside of campus dining hours
The generosity of our Susquehanna community made all of the above possible. Gifts made to the Student Care Fund have proved invaluable during this difficult time, and, for that, we are so grateful. Our community has made sure that all Susquehanna students are being cared for.
When we first launched a campaign to support the Student Care Fund last December, on Giving Tuesday, were blown away by our community's response.
165 loyal alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends of the university answered the initial call, and together contributed more than $12,000 to the fund. Then again in March, during OneSU, Susquehanna's Annual Day of Giving, 25 donors chose the Student Care Fund as their gift designation and contributed another $4,500.
And now, more that 40 of you have made recent gifts – helping grow the Student Care Fund to the largest it has ever been.
In total, 234 donors have contributed more than $20,000 to the Student Care Fund since last December. We continue to be amazed by the loyalty and generosity of our Susquehanna community, and are incredibly appreciative of all that you do for the university and our students.
Thank you!
