Thank-A-Thon 2019

Students play a game to pass the time in between writing thank you cards.

The Northwestern Foundation & Alumni Association promotes a culture of gratitude and the Thank-AThon event is a part of this initiative.

Thank-A-Thon is an annual event where students come together to write thank you cards and make phone calls to donors, thanking them for their generosity.

In November, the Alva, Enid and Woodward campuses hosted Thank-A-Thons. The combined efforts of 316 students produced 1,880 thank you cards and 746 phone calls to donors.

I have the opportunity to further cultivate lifelong friends and mentors.

“Northwestern is one big family. We are all connected, in some way or another. You go anywhere and somehow you are connected to somebody from Northwestern.

“My membership has given me a chance to give back, discover what Northwestern needs and how I can be a resource for current students.”
