Congratulation to the class of 2012 on your graduation and thank you to the 600 seniors who made contributions to the 2012 senior class gift. This year, 40% of you made your senior class gift; our highest participation rate ever.
What is the Senior Class Gift?
For our students, the Villanova experience extends well beyond graduation. The foundation built during a Villanovan’s time on campus leads to a fulfilling life of intellectual pursuits and service to the community. A Villanova senior leaves educated and transformed as a whole person, connected to the Augustinian values instilled in their hearts and minds.
As a senior, you have the opportunity to give back to a specific area at Villanova that shaped who you are today. You can make your suggested gift of $20.12 to a variety of different funds on campus, ranging from your favorite student group where new friends were made, to your School or College where you explored new interests and discovered your passions. As long as there is an active fund available, we can work to make sure your gift is made!
Why Participate?
Participation is crucial to the success of the Senior Class Gift Campaign. Alumni giving and participation is essential to Villanova’s financial well-being and status as a premier institution of higher education. Your gift shows that you believe in Villanova and will count as one more (soon-to-be) alumni donor that will bring us closer to our goal of 23% alumni participation for this fiscal year.
By allowing you to choose specifically where you want your gift to go, we hope to ignite your passion and help you support the areas that had an impact on you during your time at Villanova. Our goal is to raise support for a variety of different funds which will help the immediate need of many areas on campus. By making your Senior Class Gift today, you ensure that some of your favorite activities, clubs, programs and buildings are around for future students to enjoy.
Why We Support the Senior Class Gift
| "Events such as service break trips and weekend habitat builds showed me the kind of person I could be, and how capable I was to help others. It worries me to think what my experience at Nova would have been without them. I gave my $20.12 to Campus Ministry to help other students enjoy those opportunities." - Liz Durham, A&S, Texas |
"I have been lucky to take part in many amazing things at Villanova, from Special Olympics, to ESPN's College Game Day. Some of my most memorable moments came from my Service Break Trip this fall. I made my Senior Class Gift of $20.12 to Campus Ministry to make sure more students have their own amazing experience." - Andrew Feiter, A&S, New Jersey |
