Thank You!
Compassion, conviction, community, competition, and experience. These are just some of the words that describe the bond that is Tiger pride 鈥� the same pride that inspired our community last week on March 10 and 11. The infographic below shows Tiger pride in action during a very specific 1845 Minutes of Giving, but that's not where it ends.
Tigers are making the future for Wittenberg sustainable in many ways. Because of you, we raised $640,911! Thanks to the incredible generosity of Witt alumni, faculty, staff, retirees, students, parents, and friends, we paid homage to the People, the Place, and the Present that makes this beloved University one-of-a-kind. Thank you for sharing your Tiger pride and passing your light.
Together we can continue to help Wittenberg shine today. Learn more about how you can with the Having Light Campaign, and make a difference in the lives of current students and in the future of 麻豆传媒色情片.
Having light we pass it on to others 鈥� and celebrate the shining successes we have accomplished together. Tiger Up!
