Overview

Welcome to AGN’s Student Giving workshop! This virtual event will take place online using Zoom and will begin on Thursday, November 9th at 11:30AM EST. You will be able to access each general session 5 minutes prior to its start time. To join the event, review the information and zoom links on the "Join Sessions" tab.

Institutions that teach students about the impact of philanthropy and engage them in giving before they graduate tend to raise more money and have higher alumni participation rates. Starting from the moment first-year students step on campus and leading up to their commencement ceremony, student philanthropy programs are central to building a culture of philanthropy and ensuring continued and lifelong alumni support after graduation.

Participants will have an opportunity to:

  • Discover the latest trends and best practices in student giving.
  • Meet and get to know colleagues from other institutions.
  • Find out how other organizations approach their work.
  • View and discuss real examples, issues, and ideas.
  • Examine your own efforts and identify opportunities for improvement.
  • Obtain tools, templates, and other materials
  • Earn CFRE credit
  • And more!

This event is ideal for advancement professionals at educational institutions who wish to learn more about student giving.
