SCU’s Day of Giving is coming up on Wednesday, April 23rd! The Day of Giving is an annual twenty-four hour fundraiser dedicating to supporting the student experience. This year, the Unhoused Initiative is raising funds for undergraduate and law school experiential learning courses, student internships at local non-profit organizations, service oriented opportunities, and campus events highlighting how the homelessness crisis impacts our community.
In a few short years, the UI has grown into a year-round coordinated effort to harness the myriad resources within our SCU community to forge meaningful improvements in the local response to the homelessness crisis. The UI offers campus events, course work and service opportunities centered on homelessness and rooted in community partnerships. Through an internal grant program, we support faculty research that is informing local policy and advocacy. In partnership with student researchers and organizations, we are reducing stigma and misinformation related to homelessness. By collaborating with administrators and staff focused on campus life, we are advocating for ways to address student housing insecurity. Because of our faculty’s dedication to promoting the dignity and humanity of our unhoused neighbors, students have access to experiential learning opportunities – Senior Capstone, ELSJ, and an upcoming legal clinic course – centered on service and advocacy.
We hope you will support the Unhoused Initiative and our commitment to building a more humane, just and sustainable world for our unhoused neighbors, our community and all Broncos.
