Students prepare to express their gratitude on Thank-a-Donor Day

Mia Gallagher Staff Writer

Every year, the generosity of Grove City College alumni, parents and friends perpetuates the loving, Christian atmosphere and trademark beauty this campus provides. Their contributions – whether they be of money or time –work together to give current students their best chance at success. With this in mind, it’s time for Grovers to express our gratitude and give back.

The Crimson and White Society’s annual Thank-aDonor Day will take place next Wednesday, March 22 from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in SHAL Atrium. While there, students will have the opportunity to share their gratitude for the college’s donors by writing cards thanking them for their generous gifts.

“We are in our tenth year of this event. We began Thank-a-Donor Day to help students understand the impact that they could have one day as alumni. It takes lots of alumni and friends of Grove to help our college be the awesome place it is today. And because of that, we want to stop and thank those people for giving of their treasure (and time and talents) to Grove City College so that students can have such an amazing place to learn,” said Melissa Macleod, senior director of Alumni and College Relations.

“The nice part is that it’s very little effort on the student’s part to swing by SHAL Atrium whenever it is convenient for them that day to quickly write a thank you card. That small gesture and low time commitment on their part can go a long way in making one of our donors feel acknowledged and appreciated. And these are donors who have given to various things that our students enjoy, including scholarships, ICO trips, building renovations, athletics and campus speakers,” said Amanda Sposato ‘00, director of Alumni and Campus
