About

At Capital, every student’s journey is unique. It’s their major, their organization, their team, their mentors, their friendships—the experiences that shape their future and become cherished memories long after they graduate.

Today, we have One Day to Shine—24 hours to come together and ensure that Capital remains a place where students can learn, grow, and thrive. Your gift to the Capital Fund and departmental funds provides vital resources to support our students, enhance campus life, and meet the university’s most pressing needs.

Our goal is 100 donors in just one day. Join us in shining a light on Capital’s future—make your gift to the Capital Fund today!
