If you somehow aren't on the university's 100+ mailing lists, a reminder that today is the campus's day of giving. This year is focused on participation rather than total dollars raised, so don't be shocked to see less raised compared to years past. I chipped in 10 bucks, which goes towards a larger match.

There are live leader boards and progress trackers on the Big Give site.

What's the difference between the Big Give and Giving Tuesday (in November)? It gets kinda confusing as to the driver for each...

It's the same concept. Columbia was one of the first schools to create their own day of giving that wouldn't have to compete for attention with other schools and organizations.

They should hit their goal of 10k donors.

Today is Big "Sorry, but not donating to a university that employs an 16-47 basketball coach" Day
