Louisiana Tech celebrated its seventh annual Giving Day on March 18, with more than 780 students, faculty and staff, alumni, parents, corporate partners, and friends raising over $1.46 million for the University.

“Our Tech Family has shown once again the power of generosity and enduring loyalty on Giving Day,” said William Dearmon, the University’s chief development officer. “The sustained philanthropic support of our donors empowers us to continue advancing the University’s strategic goals, and every contribution — no matter the amount — directly impacts our students, faculty, staff, and community.”

The theme of 2025’s Giving Day, “Unleashing Our Potential,” represents the limitless opportunities ahead of the University. Giving Day gifts ranged from $5 to six figures, including a notable gift and match to support the Coaches Legacy Plaza and a special donation to enhance campus environments made in honor of former Tech president Dr. R. L. Ropp.

“We are always appreciative of the support received from our ever loyal alumni and friends,” said Dr. Heath Tims, CEO of the Louisiana Tech Alumni Association. “Financial support is one of the ways that our alumni are contributing and making an impact. Through mentorship, service, advocacy, and engagement, our alumni strengthen the University and shape the future of Tech for generations to come.”
