OVERVIEW
Come Back, Give Back
Your reunion year provides an excellent opportunity to support the University in a way that is personally meaningful to you. Your gift can be designated to your school, presidential priorities, scholarships, athletics, or any initiative across Grounds.
Class Giving Counts!
Gifts to all University-related schools and programs during the fiscal year are recognized in the class total, which is measured in two ways: total dollars contributed and class participation rate. The fiscal year runs from July 1 through June 30.
There are many ways to support your class effort. Reunion giving recognizes contributions made to the annual fund, as well as endowment gifts, capital gifts, and planned gifts, such as bequests.
You can make your payments online with a credit card, or you can give cash, stocks, bonds, or mutual fund shares. Document a planned gift using the Recognition for Future Support form.

Reunion Giving Committees reflect the top student activities and school makeup of each class during its time on Grounds and comprise 35–100 undergraduate alumni per class. The Giving Committees are responsible for encouraging classmates to come back to Grounds to celebrate their class reunion and to support the University by giving back to an area that is meaningful to them. Giving Committee volunteers work throughout the year to successfully help the class achieve and exceed fundraising and giving goals.
