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 $20.25 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 $20.25 you could collectively raise over $10,000!

Think You Don’t Have Enough to Give?

Did you know that for $20.25 you can get…

4.1 caramel lattes from Jazzman’s

3.1 Chipotle chicken burritos

2.8 Dynamite Hissho sushi rolls

2 Months of Netflix

Take Part in Campus Tradition

Every year graduating seniors give back to help the fellow students. Let’s continue this amazing tradition!

Thank you to the Graduating Class of 2025!

The Class of 2025 raised more than $3,000 and earned 144 philanthropy cords.
