"Philanthropy is not just about giving back. It teaches students to use critical thinking skills and inspires them to get involved in their community," - student participant.
NKU dove headfirst into student philanthropy in 1999 and has offered classes every year since. The program has become a model, replicated locally and around the nation.
On our own campus, we've opened the program to all colleges, all disciplines and the full range of NKU students, beginning with high school students taking courses for college credit and continuing through graduate school.
More information is available at Mayerson Student Philanthropy Project.
