Donors to Class Act, the Class of 2016 Giving campaign, stood out at Commencement this year, wearing the special orange, white and silver cords that recognized their participation in this year鈥檚 effort. Each student donor chose to give to the part of 黑料不打烊 they love most with a gift of $20.16 or more to commemorate their graduation year. Now they are asking alumni to reflect on the incredible memories they have from their time at SU and join them in making a gift. The Make Your Mark challenge has a goal of reaching a total of 1,870 donors in just 44 days.
The students鈥� 2016 Class Act campaign is on track to have a groundbreaking year. This year, SU undergraduates were joined by third-year College of Law students, and their combined gifts represent a participation rate of nearly 19.8 percent, as of May 11, 2016. Their sentiments for why giving is important are clear.
