What is your Scarlet Banner Moment?

Receiving your acceptance letter, getting inspiration from a professor, hearing motivating words from your coach, competing in Chapel Sing, traveling for an immersion trip, completing that big paper, attending the Bell Game, passing Senior Comps, crossing the stage to receive your diploma... Memories like this hold a special place in the hearts of each Wabash man and those who love the College.

Today, after making your gifts in support of Wabash students, we invite you to share your Banner Moment: a memory, event, or reflection that’s important to you and your time on campus or connection to the College.

Help us gather 140 Banner Moments in recognition of 140 years of Scarlet being the official color of Wabash College. Your gifts and your reflections will help make it A Scarlet Banner Day!

Submit a Banner Moment using the link on your gift confirmation screen.

New Banner Moments are added to the top of this list after being received and reviewed.

I would choose Wabash all over again.
