Introduction to GIVE

Hello everyone,

My name is Edison Kent and I am the Director of Philanthropy and Community Outreach for the Associated Students of Washington State University. This year to date I have been working diligently to collaborate with both student groups and the Center for Civic Engagement to organize service projects on campus and raise awareness in the community about issues effecting students and our global community.

One way in which ASWSU has supported these efforts has been through the creation and backing of a philanthropic subdivision known as GIVE. GIVE is a student run, grassroots organization focused on empowering students who care about making a difference. We have so far this semester been working on large scale service projects such as National Days of Service and our own group of specialized philanthropies, projects and events.

GIVE as a student run organization has the central goal of continuing in the future to focus attention on issues affecting local, regional, national and international audiences, and the only way in which we can succeed with this goal is with the continued support and involvement of Washington State students. This organization is open to all students and encourages diversity by identifying common issues and working toward finding solutions. If you would like any more information about how you can get involved or have ideas about projects that warrant our attention, please come to one of our meetings each Thursday between 5:30 and 6:30pm, on the third floor of the CUE building in room 319.

Thank you for your support and we look forward to our future collaboration. Please watch this space in the future for information about projects with GIVE, as well as other service opportunities through the CCE and other campus groups.

Sincerely,
