About ❤️

Giving Day is a special, 24-hour event dedicated to celebrating the spirit of generosity within our University community. It’s the one day each year when alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents and friends unite to lift up the mission that has shaped generations of Celts. When we come together, every gift—no matter the size—helps open doors to scholarships and strengthens the student experience for all.
Our 8th Annual Giving Day takes place on April 28, in honor of Founders Day—a moment to reflect on our roots, celebrate our growth, and recognize the people and traditions that make UST home. Just as Founders Day honors the vision that built our University, Giving Day brings our entire community together to carry that vision forward.
This year, we are focusing in on everything we love about UST by answering the question: Why do you love UST?
We love UST for its spirit.
We love UST for its people.
We love UST for the lives it transforms.
Today, we invite you to show what you love most about UST by making a gift to the school, center, or scholarship that means the most to you. Your generosity fuels opportunity, strengthens our community, and ensures that UST continues to inspire future generations.
Will you join us this Giving Day and share your love for UST with a meaningful gift?
