Marshall University students have the opportunity to thank the donors who provide funding for the scholarships they receive and the annual fund dollars that often support the departments and colleges in which they study during a special three-day period this week.

Thank-A-Donor-Days began Tuesday and will continue until Thursday. The event runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day.

Students will be provided thank-you cards to fill out, which will be addressed and mailed to donors.

“The Purpose of ‘Thank- A-Donor Days’ is to educate students about the importance of private giving by demonstrating the differences it makes in their educational experiences,” said Ron Area, CEO of the Marshall Foundation in a press release. “It also emphasizes the importance of thanking donors for their generosity.”

Free popcorn will be provided for participants by Tutoring Services, the Student Resource Center and Student Activities. There also will be a chance for free prizes. Additionally, Career Services will be performing resume reviews and assisting students in signing up for LinkedIn accounts.
