Senior Gift information was announced today! Details can be found here. With a minimum donation of $5, you receive a Class of 2009 champagne flute. As an added bonus, everyone who submits their gift before midnight 12/15  will be entered in a raffle for prizes which include a $25 gift certificate to the GAP. Let’s try to reach 100% participation!

Help us beat the record!!!

Volunteer to help with our senior gift 2009 by emailing “Wellesley College Senior Gift” on FirstClass.

Not sure what senior gift is or its purpose? Here are some details recently posted on the ’09 conference:

…the gift is not a concrete object. Instead it is an amount of money that your class raises to give to the college. For senior gift, you have the option of unrestricted or another designation that the class feels ultimately tied to. For example ’07 raised money for International Student Financial Aid, ’06 established an emergency student aid fund, and ’05 had a portion of their gift go towards a CWS internship.

We are less focused on the amount of the gift so much as the # of students that participate. Some students are able and will give more, while others give a participation gift to be included in our participation numbers. As an incentive, any senior who donates $35 or more is able to nominate a Wellesley faculty or staff member(S) into an appreciation society. The records for participation are held by 2000 and 2004 with 90%.

If you have any more questions, feel free to join the conversation on FirstClass!

Best, Samantha
