A fundraising initiative launched on the Penn College Alumni Relations
Facebook page encourages all segments of the campus community to make a gift – to give "props" – on behalf of a faculty or staff member who has influenced their lives. "I know that our faculty and staff change lives and form lifelong connections with alumni, their colleagues, parents and other friends of the college," President Davie Jane Gilmour said in announcing the Props for Profs campaign. "And I look forward to seeing the outpouring of thanks for their hard work." Alumni, parents, friends and employees are all encouraged to donate by midnight Friday; those sharing "props" can enrich the Penn College Fund for as little as $5, providing scholarship support, helping to purchase state-of-the-art lab equipment, and funding student travel that leads to hands-on experiences in real-world environments.
