BATON ROUGE - Every year, Southern University hosts 'Give Day,' encouraging all alumni, students, and members of the public to show their support of the university through voluntary contributions and this year the event falls on Wednesday, September 30. 

Though COVID-19 precautions have limited the social aspects of Give Day, it hasn't put a damper on the positive attitude of university leaders or on the community's generosity.

This year's Give Day is taking place on Southern University Facebook page from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

The virtual event will feature panel discussions and presentations, and a socially distanced student/alumni staffed call center at the Valdry Center for Philanthropy, located on the Southern University Baton Rouge campus, at 598 Harding Boulevard, Baton Rouge, LA 70807.

Give Day is the final appeal for the Foundation’s Million Dollar March annual campaign, which seeks to encourage alumni and friends to join together and secure philanthropic contributions for the campuses and departments of the Southern University System — Southern University Baton Rouge, Southern University New Orleans, Southern University Shreveport, Southern University Law Center, and Southern University Agricultural Research and Extension Center.

Recent years' campaigns have yielded more than $20M.
