STEPHENVILLE, Texas \u2014 The time of the year for giving is here, and Tarleton State University supporters have a chance to join in on Giving Tuesday, Nov. 30, a global day of philanthropy, by donating to their favorite academic program, student activity or scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe power of generosity is alive and well at Tarleton, and Giving Tuesday brings it home every year,\u201d said university President James Hurley. \u201cOur friends and family believe in our students. What an impact.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 100 scholarships and funds support Tarleton students in a variety of areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe beauty of Giving Tuesday is its simplicity.
