Since 2006, students at the Wisconsin School of Business have been showing their gratitude by paying it forward at graduation. Acknowledging the impact of donor generosity in shaping their education, the student-led giving initiative created by and for graduating seniors allows students to come together and leave their mark on the school. During the fall and spring semesters, the campaigns are led by a team of students from each degree program who reach out to graduating seniors to create awareness for giving back, provide incentives, and organize events to motivate students to pledge their support.

In the last nine years, students have pledged more than
$850,000
to support students for years to come.
