An annual tradition at Ursinus College, #Giving2UCday is a day for alumni, faculty, staff, parents, students and friends to join together and combine their support to make a real difference in the lives of students today and in the future. STAT welcomes students to participate and for the chance to win fun swag and prizes all day!
STAT hosts Celebration of Lights with the goal to promote awareness, tolerance, acceptance, and hopefully some love across campus. Candle lighting follows a share of traditions, refreshments, and performances.
In 2019, STAT will help the Ursinus community celebrate the college’s 150th birthday! In past celebrations, students celebrated in Upper Wismer to “toast” the occasion (with sparkling cider) and a special dinner prepared by dining services!
An annual tradition at Ursinus College, Philanthropy Week is a spring event, where students, faculty and staff learn about how the College has been shaped by philanthropy.
