The SIU Day of Giving simply wouldn\u2019t be as special without the support of the SIU Credit Union<\/a>. This is the sixth year that the SIU Credit Union has kicked off the day with a gift.<\/p>\n

This year, they presented SIU with a check for $35,000. The first donation of $20,000 will benefit SIU\u2019s New Student Programs<\/a> and the second donation of $15,000 will go to SIU Touch of Nature\u2019s Dawg Days program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The SIU Credit Union was represented by Kim Babington, vice president of community outreach and Mark Dynis, marketing director.<\/p>\n

Chancellor Austin Lane received the donations from the group and said he appreciates the support SIU Credit Union has consistently demonstrated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis generous gift goes a long way toward helping us recruit students. It is this type of gift that will help us continue our trend of increased enrollment for the freshman class,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Jennifer Jones-Hall, SIU dean of students, was ecstatic about the donation.<\/p>\n

\u201cSIU Credit Union is consistently so good to us, and we love how they continue to show up and support our students. They are great leaders in our community,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Matt Kupec, CEO of the SIU Foundation, said the SIU Credit Union\u2019s continued support of the Day of Giving is inspirational.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SIU Credit Union is an amazing partner of SIU. We appreciate how they always help us launch our SIU Day of Giving with the first gift of the day,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Tom Brummer, director at Touch of Nature, appreciates the ongoing support.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are honored the SIU Credit Union is recognizing the value of the work we do here at Touch of Nature,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
