Trine University’s annual Trine Day, a celebration of the university as well as an opportunity to support its mission, shattered its goals for number of donors and funds raised.
Held for 1,884 minutes from April 18-19, the effort raised $151,852, given by 544 donors.
“We are thankful for the way our Thunder family stepped up to celebrate Trine University and support its students in reaching their career and life goals,” said Christine Miller, director of annual giving. “Each gift, large and small, makes it that much easier for our students to receive a quality private education at Trine.”
Money raised during Trine Day supports scholarships, academic and athletic needs, and student organizations at Trine University.
The 1,884-minute time frame reflects the year 1884, when a group of visionary Angola, Indiana, residents founded Tri-State Normal College, the predecessor of today’s Trine University.
From humble beginnings with two buildings and about 50 teacher training students, the institution has grown to serve more than 13,000 students annually in undergraduate, graduate and doctoral programs in engineering, business, health sciences, education and arts and sciences.
