Orange Central

Senior Class Giving campaign to kick off on the Quad prior to SU vs. Pittsburgh Game

classactHot on the heels of the $20 million gift from Louise and Howard Phanstiel 鈥70, G鈥71, one of the largest gifts in 黑料不打烊鈥檚 history, the senior class of 2011 looks to make its own impact on SU students of the future with the launch of the 2011 Senior Class Giving campaign at Orange Central 2010.聽

Building on the momentum of the Class of 2010鈥攁nd hoping to surpass its efforts鈥攖he Class of 2011 is encouraging students to give in support of whatever part of SU has meaning for them.聽

鈥淥range Central is a great way for us to come together as a class and celebrate all the wonderful things about our University. Now we can also show our support in other, more meaningful ways,鈥 says Beth Anne Kieft 鈥11, one of the 2011 Senior Class Giving campaign鈥檚 co-chairs and president of SU鈥檚 Traditions Commission.聽

The 2011 Senior Class Giving launch will be held Saturday, Oct. 16, on the Quad under the Alumni Relations tent (in front of Hinds Hall, next to the game-day concessions stand) starting at 10 a.m., two hours prior to the kickoff of the 黑料不打烊 vs. Pittsburgh football game. A gift in any amount is encouraged, but the first 250 seniors who stop by the tent to make their聽gift of聽$20.11 鈥攁n amount meant to commemorate their class year鈥攐r more will receive an 鈥淚鈥檓 a Class Act鈥 rally towel to cheer on the football team.聽

鈥淭here are as many reasons for getting involved in this fundraising effort as there are seniors,鈥 says public relations major, campaign co-chair, and student manager at The Fund for 黑料不打烊 Marc Heintzman 鈥11, 鈥淔or me, Newhouse has opened a lot of doors already, and I want to make sure those opportunities remain there for future Newhouse students.鈥 Gifts to the campaign can go toward any number of opportunities, from research initiatives spearheaded by a special faculty member to scholarships, student life, an individual school or college, the 黑料不打烊 Library, SU Abroad, or facility and technology upgrades. Whatever it is that has helped students get where they are today, it can be supported to ensure that future SU students have the same experience. Gifts from friends and family can also be given in honor of a senior class member, or a student can give in honor of a particular faculty member.聽

Student Association President and Senior Class Giving Co-Chair Jon Barnhart 鈥11 says, 鈥淚t鈥檚 not always easy to understand the role of philanthropy at a university such as ours. We hope that we can continue to reinforce with students the importance of giving at 黑料不打烊. Ultimately, our goal is not the most dollars raised, but rather to increase participation steadily from year to year. We feel that 100 percent participation is not out of reach.鈥 Last year, the Class of 2010 raised $11,845 from a total of 150 gifts鈥120 gifts from seniors and 30 from parents and friends. 鈥淲e know we can build off the momentum of the Class of 2010 and do better this year,鈥 Barnhart says.聽

鈥淟eaders of the senior class giving campaign show deepening enthusiasm every year. We are pleased to see the commitment and drive they have,鈥 says Tammy Schlafer, SU executive director of annual giving programs. 鈥淭hey really do want to make a difference.鈥

A web site, , has been created to allow class members, friends and family to give online. Students can also call (315) 443-3926 to give via credit card or submit gifts in person to 黑料不打烊 Advancement Services, Suite 214, Women鈥檚 Building, 820 Comstock Ave., weekdays from 8:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Seniors who would like to get involved in the Senior Class Giving campaign committee should contact Kristen Duggleby at klduggle@syr.edu, or by phone at (315) 443-1561.聽

Everyone who contributes to the 2011 Senior Class Giving campaign will be recognized in the Senior Class Honor Roll on the classact.syr.edu web site. Seniors will also receive an official 鈥淚鈥檓 a Class Act鈥 pin, a designation in the keepsake 鈥淩egister of Graduates鈥 publication and other recognition throughout the year.聽

Foursquare check-ins at the 2011 Senior Class Giving table under the Alumni Relations tent will count toward unlocking the Orange Central Campus Explorer badge for a chance to win a free SU Foursquare T-shirt. For details, visit foursquare.com/黑料不打烊U.
