Tartan Tuesday 2019, Maryville College’s fourth college-wide day of giving, is scheduled for April 1-2, 2019. For 1,819 minutes, alumni, students, faculty, staff, parents and friends will come together to give back and invest in the success of Maryville College. On Tartan Tuesday, you can play a critical role in shaping the Maryville College experience. That’s why we’re challenging 650 donors to make a gift to MC before midnight on April 2. Meeting this challenge will help us secure challenge gifts from an anonymous group of donors. For more information, please visit the Tartan Tuesday website or contact Meghan Fagg-Smith ‘10, Director of Annual Giving, at 865.981.8191 or by email.
