💙💛 Today is Dominican University's Day of Giving — and this year is extra special as we celebrate 125 years of academic excellence, compassionate service, and Caritas et Veritas.
Our goal: $125,000 in one day to mark 125 years of impact.
Every gift, at any level, goes directly back to our students — fueling scholarships, mentorship, and experiential learning opportunities that shape the next generation of leaders.
🎁 As a thank you, donors at select giving levels will receive limited-edition Dominican or Rosary socks and/or a 125th anniversary photo book.
If Dominican has shaped your life, your career, or your community, today is the perfect day to give back.
👉 Give now and spread the word:
