鈥淓very day is a great day to be a Jackrabbit, but One Day for STATE is an absolute favorite of ours at the SDSU Foundation,鈥 said Erin Glidden, associate vice president of pipeline strategy. 鈥淚t鈥檚 incredible to witness how the campus and the community work together to exceed expectations, year after year.鈥
