On Wednesday, October 28, the University of Southern Indiana Foundation is holding its second annual USI Day of Giving, a 24-hour online fundraising event where USI students, alumni, faculty/staff, retirees and friends see just what can be accomplished for the University in one day.
Last year USI was able to provide 21 scholarships to USI students from the donations received on the one-day event. USI, which was Indiana State University Evansville (ISUE) at the time, opened in Centennial School in 1965 with an enrollment of 412 students. This year’s Day of Giving goal is to reach at least 412 participants.
Gifts to the Day of Giving can be designated to any of the University’s four colleges as well as Athletics and Student Life. The event is driven through social media, however, students, faculty and staff on campus will be given the opportunity to compete in a fishbowl challenge between the six designations. Participants can find the fishbowls located outside the University Center between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Wednesday.
