💙 WHAT IS 1842 DAY? 

On Tuesday, September 29, Villanova celebrates 10 years of 1842 Day—our annual day of giving. For one day, the Nova Nation comes together to celebrate the people, places and programs that make the University special. Villanovans can make a gift of any size to the area(s) they are passionate about.

Your gift on 1842 Day also contributes to Espiritus Nova: The Campaign for Villanova University, which launched in October 2024 with a $1.25 billion goal.

Whether you are an alum, student, parent, friend or member of the faculty and staff, you are part of this special community. When Villanovans put our hearts and minds to work, we are unstoppable!
