IT'S NOT TOO LATE! CLICK HERE TO MAKE YOUR GIFT!

Having Light, we support the programs and departments that helped shape who we are today.

Academic departments and programs are the heart of our pursuit of knowledge and what gives Wittenberg graduates an edge - inside the classroom and beyond.

Engaging our Wittenberg community to continue to pass on light through targeted, annual support is central to the Having Light campaign. Alumni giving is a clear sign of affection, appreciation, and affirmation of the value of the education an institution provides. These gifts show current students, faculty and staff that alumni are behind them, and they signal to foundations and other grant makers that Wittenberg has broad community support.

You can designate your gift in support of the departments and programs that matter most to you - and you can give to more than one! As you support the areas you are passionate about, these gifts provide annual operating support to the departments and programs that helped to shape you into who you are now.
