Save the Dates! Mark your calendars for a fun and festive week! See you there!
It’s Friday, but we’re just getting started! 🚀
We are officially in the home stretch of our Week of Giving, and while the weekend is calling, the mission for Kirby Leadership doesn’t stop. We have until Sunday night to reach our goal and continue empowering the next generation of student leaders.
Whether it’s the cost of a morning latte or a larger investment in our programs, any amount matters. Your support directly funds the workshops, mentorships, and resources that help our students lead with heart and purpose.
How to give:
• Link in Bio
• Impact: 100% of donations go back into Kirby Leadership programming.
Let’s finish this week strong! Every dollar is a vote of confidence in our future leaders. 🏆

Every gift, no matter the size, fuels a student’s journey. Let’s make an impact together!
If Liv can track down Professor Lukasavitz for a reel, you can definitely make it to the Kirby Lounge for Kirby Commencement! 🎓🙌

It’s Day 1 of the Week of Giving! 🐾
To kick things off, we’re sharing a testimonial from Bre. She’s a great example of how our student leadership programs like ODK and BUiLD, actually shape the student experience here at UMD.
These programs don’t run themselves, which is why this week we are reaching out to our alumni and friends. Your support directly impacts students like Bre and ensures these leadership opportunities keep growing.
