Feature Friday: CASE Circle of Excellence Award Winners edition. Congratulations to Boise State University who received bronze in the Fundraising, Student-Led Initiatives category. The Student Philanthropy Board aims to cultivate a culture of giving among the student body and introduce them to the concept of university philanthropic support. The Student Philanthropy Board also encourages Broncos to increase their involvement in activities that promote their Boise State spirit. https://lnkd.in/gke6itwc The judges had this to say: "Boise State University's Student Philanthropy Board certainly met their goal to cultivate a culture and awareness of philanthropy on campus. With students able to have a firsthand experience in the success of philanthropic dollars making a difference on campus, this ambitious "grant program" showed a great example of how to strengthen a students' affinity for giving to their university."
