We’re so thankful for all the support for WHSON this year through the I Heart Tech Students campaign! If you missed your opportunity to give, there is still a few hours left! Wings up!

The 8th Annual I ❤️ Tech Students campaign wraps up tonight – and this year has already been one for the record books.

💛 More than 160 students have stepped up to give back
💜 More than $8,300 has been raised by students alone
💛 Our community blew past the original $250K goal… and we’ve raised the bar to $500K

Students -- busy balancing classes, jobs and everything in between -- are choosing to invest in the future of Tech.

Now imagine what we can do together!

There’s still time to be part of something bigger and show up for the next generation the same way others showed up for you.
