The PNC Foundation has awarded $75,000 to �鶹ӰԺ to help ensure success among students who commonly face barriers in college. This grant aligns with PNC’s focus on addressing economic inequality among Black American and low- to moderate-income communities, and it will provide resources for students that will help them complete college and establish a strong foundation on which to build their careers.

This year, �鶹ӰԺ donors demonstrated the power of philanthropy by giving at unprecedented levels. The 2021 Giving Tuesday campaign shattered the previous records, more than tripling last year’s record of $2.2 million.

�鶹ӰԺ’s season of giving launched on Nov. 1 with Giving Tuesday, a monthlong celebration of philanthropy. Now halfway through the campaign, the generosity of the �鶹ӰԺ State community has already begun to shine. 

�鶹ӰԺ’s Brain Health Research Institute celebrated the grand opening of its new lab spaces on Friday, Nov. 5, with an afternoon of activities that included a keynote presentation, space dedication, tours and student research demonstrations. The new space, featuring interdisciplinary research facilities, is located on the lower level of the Integrated Sciences Building on the �鶹ӰԺ Campus.

�鶹ӰԺ, which has gained national recognition for its creative and successful Giving Tuesday campaigns, launched its monthlong celebration of philanthropy on Nov. 1. Giving Tuesday, now in its eighth year at �鶹ӰԺ State, has raised nearly $7 million during that time, which illuminates the impact that can be made when Golden Flashes come together.

For its fourth consecutive year, the �鶹ӰԺ Honors College is hosting “Career Conversations,” a series of alumni speaking events which take place throughout the fall semester.

The largest single gift in �鶹ӰԺ history, by Ambassador Edward F. Crawford, will complete the capital campaign to enable the construction of a new College of Business Administration building on the university’s �鶹ӰԺ Campus.
