739 donors raised $185,217 yesterday

739 out of over 110K Alum. Sad.... I certainly hope the graduates over the last 20 years that have accumulated all that debt from student loans still give a little back to the University. I have a feeling they have an entitlement mentality.

I don’t get that sense from ODU. Not enough rich kids go there. If anything, younger grads either have too many bills to give, or don’t understand the importance of it. At the school I work at, we try to engrain that in students and establish a pattern of giving before they graduate. Every graduating class raises a “ class gift” for the school in their final spring semester. And every class wants to outdo the one before. I wonder if ODU does something like that? If not, maybe they should.

Great Idea ! I seriously don't think they do and the VP for SEES should have started it. Now that she is leaving maybe new ideas can be brought in to build more pride in ODU.

They have had this for years. It's called the senior class challenge.
