˿ƵAPPReaches In

Each fall, Saints Nation gathers for a day of outreach called ˿ƵAPPReaches Out. Over the last 10 years, ˿ƵAPPstudents, faculty and staff have supported hundreds of nonprofits in the St. Louis area. Now, it’s time to reach into our own community.

˿ƵAPPReaches In is a month-long campaign of giving that will benefit the ˿ƵAPPcommunity and our Saints in need. During the month of February, ˿ƵAPPReaches In will raise awareness about an issue on campus and encourage students, faculty and staff to support one another.

“Civic engagement is a core value of ˿ƵAPP; we believe all citizens must be actively engaged in strengthening their communities,” said Margaret Onken, vice president for development and alumni relations. “˿ƵAPPReaches In is an important step toward building a culture of philanthropy on campus. It’s about having compassion for others, giving back and applying your time, talent and treasures to what you are most passionate about.”

This year’s inaugural ˿ƵAPPReaches In is benefiting the Counseling Center on campus. Since 2016, use of the Counseling Center services has increased by 75 percent.

You can support ˿ƵAPPReaches In by:

  • Checking in on your fellow Saints
  • Attending #1000Saints on Thursday, February 27 to show support of Saints on and off the basketball court
  • Taking care of yourself by exploring the resources available to you including visiting the Virtual Relaxation Room or calling the 24/7 Support Line at (314) 529–6630

Be sure to follow us on , and as we share tips for improving your well-being, supporting others and ways you can reach in all month long.
