Fundraising: Trends, Best Practices, and New Ideas
Soaring temperatures set against the relative quiet of campus can mean only one thing: Summer has begun, and student union leaders are taking advantage of the slow season by focusing on projects that will prepare them for the busy fall semester.
These projects take many forms. The Office of Facility Management at the University of Louisiana–Lafayette, for example, will use modified summer hours to allow for construction within the school’s student union, which will include the addition of highly requested dining options. Similarly, Arkansas Tech University is starting work this summer on a new student union and recreation center designed to enhance community engagement, facilitate greater wellness, and recruit and retain students.
