Giving Day, Philanthropy Week SAA

The Student Alumni Association Philanthropy Week

During the week of April 19, join The Student Alumni Association (SAA) during Philanthropy Week. This week is a way to recognize the vital role donors continue to play on the success of Seton Hall University. Be sure to follow @SetonHallSAA for the latest information on Philanthropy Week!

This year, SAA's Philanthropy Week will take place leading into the University's 4th Annual Giving Day (April 20-21). Giving Day is a time when we celebrate the Seton Hall community, which is one community. Whether you support our Athletic program, your school or college, student programs on campus like DOVE, the Law School, scholarships, or any other area of campus, you are giving back to one Seton Hall. For that, we are grateful and appreciate you.    

Throughout the week, SAA will host educational programs that focus on teaching the Seton Hall community about philanthropy and showing gratitude to University donors. The entire Seton Hall community is invited to participate on campus or online through several activities:

SAA will place tags around campus to symbolize the number of donors dedicated to enhancing the Seton Hall experience. They will also place bows in and around buildings which indicate objects that were built of created through the support of donors. There will be social media contests throughout the day for Setonians to participate in and put their philanthropy trivia to the test for prizes.

Event: "Once a Pirate Always a Pirate" Young Alumni Panel
