Each April, students, faculty, staff, and alumni of the Tuck School of Business come together
to participate in the Tuck GIVES (Grants to Interns and Volunteers for the
Environment and Society) auction, a student-organized event that supports
student participation in nonprofit and public-sector summer internships. The
school's seventh auction was held April 16 through 19, and raised a record
$129,270 through a combination of silent and live auctions, direct alumni
donations, and a gift from the dean's office.
"I worked for the National Park Service last summer," says Lyndsey
Erickson, Tuck '07, event co-chair and recipient of a 2006 scholarship.
"Tuck GIVES made it financially feasible for me."
Officially begun in 2001, Tuck GIVES was formed by the Tuck Nonprofit
Club and now is part of an annual Tuck-wide solicitation process to support
nonprofit and public-sector internships. Tuck GIVES is organized by students,
with support from Tuck's Allwin Initiative for
Corporate Citizenship, Career Development
Office, MBA
Program Office, Dean's Office,
and select alumni.
