The Randall Scholarship has impacted the lives of so many of our students. It was a joy to gather just a few of them for dinner last evening with Charyls Randall.

Way to go Tigers! I appreciate all of the donors. Our Day of Giving is about coming together as a community, one that stretches across the globe. We are a proud Tiger Nation. I will wear the coat with pride at the big game!
We have met and exceeded our goal of 300 donors! Thanks to all of our generous donors, Dr. Kittle will be showing off his Tiger stripes at the NAIA Women’s Basketball Championships this weekend in Sioux City. Make an even bigger impact: dwu.edu/dayofgiving #ADayforWesleyan
