    Why Give to the Graduating Class Gift?​

    Someone Did it for You​
    ​Each year alumni and graduating seniors give back to enhance the student experience. Help pay it forward!


    A Little Bit Makes a Big Difference
    We ask that you give at least $20.24 to the Graduating Class Gift because that's your graduating year and it can truly make an impact. Think about it this way. There are more than 500 students in your graduating class. If each student gives $20.24 you could collectively raise over $10,000!


    Think You Don't Have Enough to Give?
    Did you know that for $20.24​​ you can get...
