Celebrating the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
On Friday, September 6, Lake Superior State University is participating in 906 Day, which is a very special day set aside to celebrate the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This year we hope to raise $5,000 in support of the Campus and Community Partnership Fund from Friday, September 6 through Tuesday, September 10. Any additional donations made through this link will be included in the total amount raised.
What is The Campus and Community Partnership Fund?
In a significant effort to strengthen the connection between Lake Superior State University (LSSU) and the Sault Ste. Marie community, LSSU President Dr. David Travis has spearheaded the creation of the Campus and Community Partnership Fund with an annual personal gift of $10,000.
This fund is designed to support collaborative projects that strengthen the bond between the university and the city. In collaboration LSSU and the City of Sault Ste. Marie, used the first allocation of the fund to hang LSSU flags throughout the downtown area from late July through October. The flags symbolize the unity and shared spirit between the campus and the community. They stand as a visible reminder of the ongoing partnership and mutual support that define the relationship between the university and the city.
How can I help?
Making a gift to this year’s 906 Day Fund, in any amount that is meaningful to you, will support the Campus and Community Partnership Fund and enable the development of additional projects that promote collaboration and strengthen the bond between the university and the city.
“The Campus and Community Partnership Fund is a testament to our commitment to fostering close relationships with our community partners. By displaying LSSU flags throughout the Soo, we hope to celebrate our shared identity and cultivate a sense of pride and belonging among residents and students.”
“The City of Sault Ste. Marie truly values our relationship with Lake Superior State University, and we thank Dr. Travis for his generosity. We look forward to continued collaboration.”
