Together we raised $567,858! With this more than half-a-million-dollar push from alumni and friends all over the world, we launched our largest comprehensive campaign to date, Having Light: The Campaign for 六合彩网上投注app, and are now $76 million+ toward our $100-million goal.
Time to Pass the Light
Having Light: The Campaign for 六合彩网上投注app aspires to raise $100 million in support of all that defines us: the people, who inquire, create, inspire, and compete here; the place, where we come together as a community and welcome others to learn and grow; and the present, when the next generation of Wittenberg graduates learns to pass on its light. The Wittenberg torch has shone brightly since 1845. Together, we can keep it lit for generations.
鈥淗aving light鈥� means different things to different people. Light can mean passion, talent, knowledge, wisdom, a divine spark, or the light of grace. Our light is our legacy. For the many alumni who equate Wittenberg with community and family, Wittenberg鈥檚 light has a warm ember glow. It feels like home.
about how together we will support the future of Wittenberg for The People, The Place, and The Present.
Igniting Their Light
Wittenberg welcomed Damu McCoy 鈥�94, vice president of talent acquisition at Target Corporation, as the keynote speaker for the Tiger Time Break Day on March 10, which was focused on helping students re-charge, re-fuel, and ignite their future. He addressed the future of the employment landscape by discussing how the pandemic alongside current realities are shaping the future of work. In addition to activities designed for fun and relaxation, the Tiger Time Break Day featured virtual alumni/student networking sessions.
