Unite to Ignite | Villanova 1842 Day

Tomorrow, 9.19.17 at 12p.m. EST, Villanova's #1842Day officially kicks off!

The entire Villanova community will come together for 1,842 MINUTES to celebrate ALL THAT MAKES VILLANOVA GREAT. This is more than a day: it’s our chance to ignite change TOGETHER on campus and throughout Nova Nation.

VILLANOVA NEEDS 1,842 DONORS TO REACH OUR GOAL. WE CAN’T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!

Why 1842 Day? Villanova University was founded by the Augustinians in 1842. For 175 years, Villanovans have been driven by truth, unity and love—and now, we will show ourselves and the world the difference we can make in 1,842 minutes.

1842 Day is Villanova's first-ever day of giving. This is our opportunity to show pride and gratitude for the impact Villanova has on each of us, in our communities and around the world. All Villanovans can make a gift of ANY SIZE to the DESIGNATION OF YOUR CHOICE, helping us reach our goal of 1,842 donors in 1,842 minutes.
