Teaching Annual Giving to Students (tags) seeks to educate current students about the importance of giving back to Wofford once they become alumni.
Tuition and fees alone do not cover the cost of a Wofford education.  Each year, the college depends on gift support from alumni and friends for 8% of its operating budget. Without that support, Wofford would be a very different place (view video to learn more.) The Annual Fund is a major source of funding for the college. As its name suggests, yearly, recurring gifts from alumni, parents, and friends are encouraged. Gifts of all sizes make up this fund, and all gifts are equally important and necessary for keeping Wofford strong financially and academically.
Throughout the academic year, the tags program will sponsor a variety of fun events and educational opportunities to raise awareness of the Annual Fund and the role students may play in supporting Wofford after graduation.
 Each Tuesday, a Terrier will be hidden somewhere on Wofford's campus.
Clues to the Terrier's location will be posted to the tags Facebook fan page. Join the page, read the clues, and let the hunt begin!
The student who finds the Terrier and returns it to the Annual Giving Office will win a much-coveted prize! Past prizes include a Wofford sweatshirt blanket and a Wofford duffel bag! (Only 1 prize awarded each week.) Students who win are not eligible to play again in the same semester.
Complete details are listed on the tags Facebook page.
