Week for Witt 2026

Week for Witt

With the arrival of its 16th president, Dr. Christian M. M. Brady, in June 2025, Wittenberg University has embraced an innovative, forward-facing agenda to become the model of a liberal arts university in the 21st century, creating sparks that will light the world. To support this vision, please join us for our third annual giving week, Week for Witt, Oct. 19-23, 2026. This special week brings together Tigers everywhere, including alumni, students, faculty, staff, families, and friends, in support of the people, programs, and experiences that make Wittenberg special.

Throughout the week, we will shine a light on several key areas, including Scholarship Support, Strategic Presidential Initiatives, Experiential Learning, Athletics, and The Wittenberg Fund. Each plays an important role in the Wittenberg experience and provides opportunities and resources that directly support our students and strengthen the University.

Week for Witt is an opportunity for every Tiger to make a difference. Whether you support scholarships, athletics, hands-on learning opportunities, emerging priorities, or the areas of greatest need, your gift helps provide meaningful opportunities for today’s students while building a strong foundation for Wittenberg’s future. Support what matters most to you and make an impact during Week for Witt.
