As more people graduate from HU, I hope to work together with our Alumni Council to build strong affinity with the institution and our community. Come pay us a visit! I’m always available for a call, a coffee, or a visit from an alum.
ALUMNI ARE PAYING IT FORWARD
Your support, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference. It helps fund scholarships, enhance academic programs, support faculty research, and provide critical resources that ensure every HU student can thrive. We believe in the power of our community, and together, we can continue to elevate Harrisburg University’s impact.
This year, we continue a tradition to thank you and extend your impact even further. When you contribute $50 or more, we’ll send you a pair of exclusive Harrisburg University socks! But that’s not all – we’ll also send a second pair to a newly accepted student, accompanied by a personalized note from you. Imagine the excitement a prospective student will feel, knowing that a proud alumnus is already cheering them on. It’s a small gesture that creates a lasting connection and shows them they’re joining a supportive family.
JOIN THE EMERALD SOCIETY
For those who are ready to make an even greater commitment to Harrisburg University, we are thrilled to announce the launch of our new Emerald Giving Society. This society recognizes and celebrates alumni and friends who demonstrate leadership through their sustained annual philanthropic support.
Members of the Emerald Giving Society will receive special invitations to exclusive events, recognition in university publications, and unique opportunities to engage with university leadership and students. Your foundational support as an Emerald Giver will help secure the university’s mission for generations to come.
