Such an event relies on producing a video designed to spur philanthropy. For this year\u2019s event, the SIU Foundation\u2019s Development Communications team came up with the concept of placing go-pro cameras on students and filming their experiences across campus. The video complements this year\u2019s SIU Day of Giving theme of \u201cGive the Gift of Experience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The video features such scenes as an SIU diver diving into the rec center pool, a student in ceramics making pottery, a track and field student pole vaulting, and a dental hygiene student cleaning a patient\u2019s teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Coordinating the many schedules of students, organizing photo shoot locales, getting permission for building access, and dealing with the whims of Mother Nature can make a video production somewhat stressful. However, what made it all worthwhile for the SIU Foundation\u2019s development communications team were the students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe probably had 40 \u2013 50 students who participated in the making of this video and I can say all of them were positive and upbeat about helping us out. They were patient and eager to lend a helping hand,\u201d said Rebecca Renshaw, associate director for development communications. \u201cThey make me proud to be a Saluki and I want to personally thank them for helping us with the SIU Day of Giving video. We could not have done it without them,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>The students who participated in the video are as follows:<\/p>\n<p>Animal Science<br \/>\nSarah McDivitt, senior, animal science<\/p>\n<p>Greenhouse:<br \/>\nMatt McNeer, senior, horticulture<\/p>\n<p>Dental:<br \/>\nAnna Radacki, junior, dental hygiene<br \/>\nCaila Lee, senior, dental hygiene<\/p>\n<p>Swimmers:<br \/>\nEli Mercado, sophomore, biology<\/p>\n<p>Fisheries:<br \/>\nLuke Zuklis, zoology major<\/p>\n<p>Automotive:<br \/>\nAlicia Johnston, senior, automotive technology<br \/>\nLeah Bavirsha, senior, automotive technology<br \/>\nStiljan Agolli, senior, automotive technology<br \/>\nJustin Michaels, sophomore, automotive technology<br \/>\nLane DeBatis, sophomore, automotive technology<\/p>\n<p>Baton Twirling:<br \/>\nJazmin Rnadazzo, sophomore, nursing<\/p>\n<p>Piglets:<br \/>\nTrevor Chew, senior, ag business<br \/>\nSarah Webster, senior, animal science production<br \/>\nRebecca Harris, Sophomore, animal science<br \/>\nZac Bolander, senior, ag systems<\/p>\n<p>Zip Line:<br \/>\nMitchell Niccolai, senior, forestry<br \/>\nKaty O\u2019Keefe, graduate<\/p>\n<p>Glass blowing:<br \/>\nKayla Ohmer, graduate, glass<br \/>\nMaia Stern, grad student, glass<\/p>\n<p>Pole vaulting:<br \/>\nChase Black, senior, ag business economics<\/p>\n<p>Robotics:<br \/>\nPaul Schumacher, senior, industrial management and applied engineering<\/p>\n<p>School of Medicine:<br \/>\nAnwar Cameron, MD , 2<sup>nd<\/sup> year, geriatrics<br \/>\nGreg Desimone, MD 2<sup>nd<\/sup> year, family medicine<\/p>\n<p>Fermentation:<br \/>\nLucas Rose, Senior, fermentation science<\/p>\n<p>Ceramics:<br \/>\nJazmyn Wieder, 3<sup>rd<\/sup> year, MFA professor<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Each March, SIU Foundation hosts an online giving celebration known as SIU Day of Giving.
