The holidays are here and so too is the season of giving.<\/p>\n
Brock University will once again join thousands of non-profit and charitable organizations in celebrating Giving Tuesday, a global philanthropic movement that encourages donations and volunteerism to causes closest to people\u2019s hearts.<\/p>\n
At Brock, this cause is student success.<\/p>\n
\u201cGiving Tuesday at Brock<\/a> is about uniting as a community to support what matters most \u2014 our students,\u201d says Sonia Dupte, Brock\u2019s Director of Development. \u201cThe Brock community has a wonderful culture of philanthropy \u2014 our faculty and staff care deeply for our students and want to see them succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n Traditionally, Giving Tuesday falls on the Tuesday after Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping deals. This year, it will take place Tuesday, Nov. 30.<\/p>\n To help promote the initiative, Brock is encouraging its current supporters to share information about Giving Tuesday at Brock through social media and word of mouth. An online ambassador tool kit<\/a> includes sample images and social media messaging faculty and staff can share with their personal and professional networks.<\/p>\n “Current donors are already familiar with the significant impacts their gifts have on empowering students and making a transformational education experience possible,\u201d says Dupte. \u201cThis Giving Tuesday, we\u2019re asking them to continue their support of Brock students by making a donation and helping us inspire others to give by sharing campaign messaging.\u201d<\/p>\n Dupte says donations made in support of Giving Tuesday at Brock are investments in education that will help Brock students become \u201cresilient, versatile, career-ready and engaged citizens who are ready to change the world.\u201d<\/p>\n She is hopeful the Brock community will rally together to support funds that have a direct and positive impact on the lives of students.<\/p>\n \u201cWhether you support scholarships or bursaries, facilities or spaces, academic programs, student services, athletics or research, your gift enhances student success at Brock,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n To learn more about Giving Tuesday at Brock, including donating online<\/a> and using the ambassador toolkit<\/a> to help craft social media messages, visit brocku.ca\/giving-tuesday<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The holidays are here and so too is the season of giving.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":75392,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[119,9794,7,3319,1,4],"tags":[2640,817,159,2641,1209,2638,1352],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75391"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75391"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75391\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75420,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75391\/revisions\/75420"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75392"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75391"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75391"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75391"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
