Meet Nichols Alum Townsend Mink ’48

The definition of loyalty is a strong feeling of support or allegiance to a person, group, ideal, duty, or cause. Meet Townsend Mink ’48. Townsend has been giving annually to Nichols College since he graduated in 1948. He attributes his loyal giving to “having such memorable experiences, making so many life-long friends, and having had a successful career because of it.” Townsend goes as far as to say, “They were some of the best years of my life.”

Like Townsend, many donors give back in gratitude for the people, programs, and activities that helped shape who they are today. Donors also give forward, to help the next generation of Nichols students forge their own paths to success.

Loyal donors provide the cornerstone for that success. They enable today’s students to benefit from an educational experience that builds confidence, cultivates leadership, develops skills, and creates distinctive opportunities for their professional growth. They help ensure Nichols graduates are career and world ready.

Through past support, our donors have demonstrated their commitment to Nichols College and its students. They have also set an example for fellow alumni, parents, and students, and played a vital role in ensuring that the college continues to thrive and grow with each incoming class.

Your annual giving is crucial to the continued success of students. Your gift directly and immediately supports the areas that have the greatest impact on our students — critical scholarship aid, innovative educational programs, an engaging residential and student experience, and upgrades to our historic campus – and will reverberate for generations, ensuring Nichols College remains the school of choice for decades to come.

Join Townsend and our community of generous donors who give back – and forward – to support the aspirations of tomorrow’s leaders.

We hope hearing about our donors will inspire you to join them by making a gift before June 30. When students have to withdraw because of money worries, it’s literally a life-changing decision. Be the one that changes the trajectory of their lives. Giving is easy. I hope we can count on your support with a gift today. Make a difference for your alma mater – and the students who follow in your footsteps – today!”
