One holiday that sometimes goes overlooked is one that speaks to every person who has ever stepped foot inside the “Hospitality State.” It’s a relatively new holiday, but it falls squarely in line with the mission of the University of Mississippi.
Started in 2012, #GivingTuesday is a global day for giving back. This year, it falls on Dec. 2, the day following Cyber Monday. While it may fall between Thanksgiving and Christmas, it’s a day that doesn’t necessary involve a financial commitment. It could be as simple as holding the door open for a stranger. Or, you could give your time and energy to any of our outstanding local service organizations. Check out this video (courtesy givingtuesday.org).
