Southern University's annual Give Day campaign, which encourages alumni, businesses, community partners, and supporters to invest in the university, aims to keep students' college dreams alive. A significant portion of the funds raised go towards scholarships that help students stay enrolled and complete their degrees. University officials encourage alumni and supporters of Give Day to contribute to scholarships and programs that support student success. Every donation can make a difference between a student leaving college and earning a degree, according to Southern University Chancellor John Pierre. The campaign also provides opportunities for graduates who enter the workforce, strengthen local economies and give back to their communities.
