The IUP community is invited to celebrate donor generosity and impact during Thank a Donor Week, April 6–10.

During Thank a Donor Week, faculty, staff, and students can celebrate their profound impact.

You can provide a handwritten thank-you note, and current students can take part in this year’s postcard design contest. Your note and artwork could be shared with an IUP donor, telling them what their generosity means to you and our students.

Submit thank-you notes or your postcard design artwork in person at the following locations and times:

  • Monday, April 6, Stapleton Library, First Floor Atrium (noon to 1:00 p.m.)

  • Tuesday, April 7, HUB Fitness Center Lobby, Atrium Table 2* (noon to 4:00 p.m.)
