Get ready for the Annual Alumni SWAG ThanksGiveaway! Pick up premium SWAG and Sweets in our Alumni Hall at Governors State University. While you're here, sign up for your Alumni Membership.

This year, we're asking our Alumni to help students by donating new hygiene items (toothpaste, soap, shampoo, deodorant, etc.) for the GovState Food Pantry and the Family Development Center (FDC). You can view the full list of acceptable donation items here.

This event is free, open to All Alumni of GovState, and requires registration.

We hope to see you there!

Dear Alumni Family,

We wanted to share an important update about our Alumni SWAG Thanksgiveaway. We’ve made the difficult decision to postpone this year’s event, and we appreciate your understanding.

Even though the event is postponed, you can still support our GovState Food Pantry and Family Development Center! This season, when hunger and homelessness concerns are felt most deeply, every act of giving matters. You are welcome to drop off nonperishable goods and hygiene items between 10:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. in the Alumni Relations Office (Room D34067). You can easily schedule your donation drop-off using the Calendly link below:

Please View our Donation Guide Here for a quick refresher on donations we are accepting.

If you or an organization you know is interested in supporting future alumni events, we’d be delighted to connect. Your partnership helps us continue the gatherings, celebrations, and opportunities that keep our community strong.

Thank you for being part of what makes GovState so special. Together, we’ll continue giving and growing.

Sincerely,

The Alumni Association at Governors State University
