Our Goal

This year, our goal is to reach $10,000 in Give Day donations. Every donation directly supports our marketing program, which emphasizes Inclusive Excellence, Career Readiness, and Sustainability.

All Give Day gifts are matched - this makes Give Day the very best day to support the program!

"I am continually in awe of the community that this department fosters and I am so excited to become a part of the alumni network that pours back into the student body that they were once a part of. My time at Western would’ve been drastically different without the Marketing Department and the opportunities made available. Thank you so much for your positive impact on the students."

Our Plan

Half of your gift goes directly to need-based student scholarships. In these uncertain times, need-based scholarships will be even more important to students without the means to finance their education on their own.

Here is what else your generosity has done:

• Disbursed nearly $10,000 in need-based scholarships
• Funded our Behavioral Research Lab
• Sponsored the Student Marketing Association
• Supported students' participation in conferences, events, professional readiness activities, co-cirricular experiences, and networking opportunities
• Sponsored our annual case competition - around 50 students competed this year!
• Supported our faculty with research materials and conference funding
• Funded alumni engagement events that help our students and program grow

"We appreciate the donors on Give Day and our supportive alumni as they have further enriched our educational experience at WWU. We ask that you continue to support the department by donating on Give Day so that future students can reap the benefits as well!"
