Now in its third year, the Big Give is an annual one-day event celebrating the generosity of the TU community. This year’s participation was the best yet, with a record 1,450 donors giving more than $140,000. Contributions benefit key projects on campus across all seven colleges, including the Honors College, Albert S. Cook Library, Athletics, TU Student Emergency Funds, unrestricted funds, BTU- Partnerships for Greater Baltimore, Student Affairs and the Office of Inclusion & Institutional Equity.
CBE is especially proud to have earned first place in dollars earned among TU’s colleges, with nearly 100 gifts totaling more than $15,000.
“We are very thankful to have received 94 gifts totaling $15,348” said CBE major gift officer Frank Sneeringer.
One of the special projects supported by this year’s Big Give contributions is the Tigers Well-Suited for Tomorrow fund. The fund, started in 2019, helps students find professional attire.
During these changing times, many of our students are preparing to enter the workforce. This period is even more stressful for those students who lack the professional attire needed to make a positive first impression in a critical job interview. Tigers Well-Suited for Tomorrow is a fund that helps address this often-overlooked student need by supporting CBE’s career closet, The Well-Suited Wardrobe.
The Well-Suited Wardrobe offers new and lightly worn items so our students can look their best while showing future employers their skills and giving them confidence to succeed in the workplace. Funds raised help increase the career closet’s range of inventory and items that will help our students land their first internship or job.
