Make an impact on inclusive excellence in WWU MARKETING!

Our Goal

Our goal is to reach 100 Give Day donations for 2024 so that we can continue to provide our excellent student and alumni programs, and be able to award 25 marketing students with need-based scholarships funded by your give day donations.

With the funds we raise from our amazing Give Day donors, we support need-based scholarships, networking events for students and alumni, career preparation programs, emergency relief for students, and the Student Marketing Association, all with a focus on developing an inclusive community of marketers. 

Every donation directly supports our marketing students and our mission of Inclusive Excellence, Career Readiness, and Sustainability. In the WWU Marketing Program, we strive to create a sense of community through engaging, educating, and nurturing a successful and diverse community of marketers so that our students and alumni can forge connections between the marketing program, marketing industry, and society at large.
