What is Designated Giving?
A designated gift to Greenville College provides an opportunity for alumni, parents, and friends to give to areas of special interest. Establishing and strengthening specific projects enables a new generation of Greenville students to experience the many benefits of a distinctive Christian college education. For alumni, a designated gift is one way for them to give something back to their alma mater.

• Special Projects

  • WGRN the campus radio station plans to move from its present studio in the Communication Building into the Dietzman Center, the new bookstore/classroom building currently under construction on a site east of Armington Center. The move will double the space available to the station and increase its visibility on campus.
    
    The new facility will greatly increase WGRN's effectiveness as a lab for students studying communications and broadcasting. Our goal is to raise at least $35,000 toward the construction costs of the WGRN portion of the Dietzman Center.
