#AllforWU 2023

Thank you for making Day of Giving a huge success! On Feb. 2, 2023, you all came through to celebrate the vital role philanthropy plays in making an exceptional learning experience possible for current and future Ichabods. Washburn’s Day of Giving brought together hundreds of donors in one day to support our students, faculty and programs. You showed your pride and gratitude for the impact Washburn has on all of us, in our communities and around the world. You are part of this special community — and together, we are greater!

We can't wait to see the benefits of your gifts and to do it again in February 2024! Follow the conversation on social media and share the excitement with the Washburn community using #AllforWU.

See what people are sharing about #AllforWU 2023!
