Southern University launches SU Give Day for all campuses

SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) — The Southern University System Foundation will host SU Give Day on Thursday, Aug. 28, with a goal of raising $25 million.

The online event will be streamed live on Southern’s Facebook page from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. and will close out the Foundation’s “Are You In?” campaign. Money raised will support all five campuses, including Shreveport’s own Southern University, Southern University at New Orleans, the Southern University Law Center, the Agricultural Research and Extension Center, plus the Southern University Laboratory School.

The day will feature campus leaders, students, alumni, and partners sharing how donations help Southern. It will also include talks with President Dennis J. Shields, student leaders, corporate partners, alumni, and Dr. Kedric Taylor of the Human Jukebox marching band.

Supporters can watch live and give online to help Southern reach its goal.
