About 1842 Day

1842 Day is Villanova's first-ever day of giving. This is our opportunity to show pride and gratitude for the impact Villanova has on each of us, in our communities and around the world. Alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff and friends—let's make a difference TOGETHER!

Our Goal

We need your help to reach 1,842 donors in 1,842 minutes, between 12 p.m. on Tuesday, September 19 and 6:42 p.m. on Wednesday, September 20 (EDT). Whether you give $5, $175 or $1,842, your generosity will count toward achieving our goal.

Charles Widger School of Law

The Charles Widger School of Law provides a legal education grounded in academic rigor, practical hands-on training and a foundation in business. Villanova Law offers six in-house legal clinics and more than 150 externship opportunities that immerse students in the real-world application of their legal skills.

Clinical Programs: Through the Law School’s seven clinical courses, students gain real-world legal experience while helping those in need.

Law School General Scholarship Fund: Scholarship aid enables the Law School to attract and retain the best and the brightest students, ensuring that we continue to mentor and mold the leaders of tomorrow.

Walter A. Lucas ’88 Public Interest Fellowship Program: This program provides financial support to Villanova Law students who spend their summers working with various public interest organizations to deliver volunteer legal services to those in need.
