A Message of Gratitude TAG (Thank a Giver) Day 2020

Each spring, McDaniel College's Student Alumni Council hosts TAG Day, or Thank a Giver Day, on campus. The day is a celebration of the power of philanthropy and gives our students an opportunity to express their gratitude for all that you have made possible and to say thank you directly to donors like you. While we cannot be on campus to celebrate TAG Day, many of our students still wanted to share messages of thanks with you.

Thank you for your support of McDaniel College students in the academic year 2019-2020. We look forward to building a stronger McDaniel together in the coming year.
