Join GSLIS in celebrating Giving Tuesday

GivingTuesday-wide.png?itok=m58r4_XXOn the heels of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we ask our alumni and friends to take time to give back to their communities on December 2, also known as Giving Tuesday. A national event, Giving Tuesday is a day to give back through service or financial support. Whether you choose to give by volunteering, donating to a food drive, or making a financial contribution, we hope you’ll make Giving Tuesday an annual holiday tradition.

Annual Fund contributions make possible a wide range of activities that supplement academic studies and promote the professional development for our students, such as participation in national and international conferences and opportunities to connect with alumni. When unexpected situations arise, GSLIS turns to this fund. These situations range from student emergencies to once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for faculty, students, and alumni.

To make your gift, select the Annual Fund or another fund or your choice on the Opportunities for Giving Page. For more information about the impact of your contribution contact the Office of Advancement.
