Student Today, Bison Forever!
Schedule of Events
Nichols College is an amazing place that grants
every single one of its students the opportunity
to develop professional business skills that
prepares them for a successful career. Each
student has been touched by philanthropy in
one way shape or form. Join us for our second
annual The Gift of Opportunity (TGOP),in which
we say “thank you,” and also pay it forward by
contributing to the
Monday: Tag Sale
Every item on campus comes with a price.
Various items across campus will have price
tags displayed, informing students the value
and importance of supporting their College.
This year’s theme is “Student Today, Bison
Forever!” The words Bison Forever resonates
when talking about alumni Nate Smith ’89, Chris
Langlois ’00 MBA ’04, and Kristen Harmon ’08.
These individuals have challenged the current
student body to raise $4,000 and it will be
matched dollar for dollar.
This week is not about how much you give, it is
about being a part of the Nichols story. All
Nichols students have benefitted from
philanthropy; TGOP provides a concrete way of
saying thank you and making a difference to the
place that you now call home.
“TGOP really demonstrates the
importance of giving back.
Without the generosity of
others, my education would not
be the same. Thank you!”
~ Josh Deloach ’14
Tuesday: Random Acts of Kindness Day
Philanthropy is not just handing over a dollar,
but also doing acts of kindness. Do something
good today and tweet about it using hash tag
#TGOP. What deed you do is up to you, but you
can bring cookies to a class, pick a piece of trash
up, swipe someone in for lunch or give up
control of the remote for a day. Be creative and
share your story!
Wednesday: Donor Appreciation Day
Take part in Donor Appreciation Day and write a
note to someone who enabled part of your
Nichols experience. Share your thanks by
stopping at Davis Hall to sign a thank you card
and have a piece of pizza on us.

create a culture of giving that will have a
lifetime of impact. Today selected students will
visit with alumni on or off campus.
