The School of Public Health promotes health for all through education, research and community engagement. Support from Georgia State Day donors like you opens doors of opportunity for public health students and catalyzes research and outreach that addresses urgent public health needs in Georgia and around the world.
To support students experiencing unexpected financial hardships, such as job loss, during challenging and uncertain times, a generous School of Public Health donor has agreed to match every dollar donated on Georgia State Day to the SPH Student Assistance Fund up to $15,000
After all gifts were tallied, your generosity powered GSU to a new Georgia State Day fundraising record and our first $1 million giving day! Thank you! Thank you! A million times, thank you!
This historic achievement shows the GSU community’s deep commitment to the university’s mission and students. It also provides Panthers with more resources vital to their success.
You cared and you gave, and you made GSU history for supporting students. You deserve a hand.
In acknowledgement of this fundraising milestone, we’re pleased to share with you messages of thanks from Georgia State University President M. Brian Blake and Chair of the GSU Foundation Board Kevin Lofton.
“Georgia State University’s ambitious vision is founded in the belief that when we work together on a common goal, we can achieve anything. My deepest thanks to the nearly 2,000 alumni, students, faculty, staff and supporters who showed their commitment to ensuring GSU students have the resources they need to succeed, and to the GSU Foundation Board trustees for their generosity and leadership.”
- M. Brian Blake, President, Georgia State University
