Alumni Giving – Student Engagement Network

Alumni Giving

Empower tomorrow’s leaders.

A gift to the Student Engagement Network is an investment in the next generation of leaders, as you empower students to take their learning from the classroom to the world. We depend on support from alumni, parents, and friends to sustain and grow our programs.

Here are just a few ways you can support the Student Engagement Network with a gift:

Help students fund an engagement experience with a gift to the SEN Grant Program
Invest in students’ growth and development with a gift to the SEN Internship Program
Support faculty and staff champions of student engagement with a gift to the Engagement Academy
Help to fund a signature annual event, such as the Student Engagement EXPO in the fall or the Student Engagement Summit in the spring
Make a gift to support the SEN Director’s Fund and empower our leadership to direct funds to where the need is greatest

We also invite conversations with alumni who are interested in supporting the SEN with their time and talent, whether that’s speaking at an SEN event, serving as a liaison between the SEN and your employer, who may wish to form a corporate partnership, or creating an internship within your own business. The opportunities are as diverse as our alumni themselves.
