Upcoming Key Dates
Get Excited: Giving Day is Thursday!
Giving Day is a special day that brings students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends of Lipscomb together for a greater cause. 
This year the Parent Leadership Council is excited to announce its own Parent Impact Fund. The Parent Impact Fund provides immediate resources that directly benefit students, including academic support, emergency assistance, financial aid, mental health services and enhanced campus experiences. Every contribution—no matter the size—adds up to make a lasting investment in your student’s future.
If you haven't signed up to be a Giving Day Ambassador yet, there's still time! Ambassadors inspire others to give, helping increase the number of gifts that directly impact student scholarships, programs and experiences. Plus, you could earn tickets to Lipscomb Night at the Nashville Predators on Feb. 27. SIGN UP!
