EIU Giving Day 2026 - Social Media Toolkit
Step Up For Panthers - April 22, 2026
Nobody is better suited to spread the transformative power of EIU than alumni and friends who bleed blue. EIU Supporters will play a vital role in sharing the message of giving on a personal level with friends and former classmates. When the entire Panther family joins together, we can do big things for our current and future students.
