Help us raise funds for commuter students!
This year, the Office of Commuter Services is hosting its very own March Gladness campaign to raise funds for a commuter scholarship. And we need your help!!!
As commuter students or staff members who work with commuters, you are well aware of the unique challenges commuters face. A major reason students choose to commute to Xavier is due to financial reasons. Additionally, many commuter students hold at least 1 form of employment (mostly off-campus!) and are also obligated to fulfill family needs from living at home. Add on coursework, internships, navigating college life... it can all become a lot! Yet, we encourage commuter students to pursue involvement opportunities (e.g Commuter Peer Mentor program) as this can help them make the most of their time at Xavier. Having several obligations, however, can hinder a commuter student from becoming fully integrated into Xavier's campus life.
This year's student-generated March Gladness campaign is tied to a commuter scholarship fund that seeks to alleviate some of the financial stressors this population faces, so they can continue to engage on campus! Using scholarship funds generated from previous fundraisers, as of this year, we are able to attach a $200 reward to the Outstanding Contributions to Commuter Students award given at the annual Student Leadership Assembly. Depending on the outcome of this March Gladness campaign, we hope to evaluate and increase the impact of the award year to year.
