At this year’s Annual Day of
Giving, held on November 20, the entire John Jay community came
together to raise over $140,000 for John Jay’s Student Emergency

campaign officially closes. Over 100 volunteers showed up to our
Annual Day of Giving event, representing every walk of life
within the College. At the call center you could find soccer
players and basketball players, student council members and staff
members, professors and administrators, freshmen and grad
students all gathered together, operating the phones, bringing in

into action, quickly following a crowd of runners waving them
through to the unresponsive 44-year-old marathoner. Read More
