Senior Class Giving

Introduction

What is the Senior Class Giving Campaign?

The Senior Class Giving Campaign exists to educate seniors on the crucial need for private donations to Elon while also encouraging them to begin their support of the university. This happens by way of the student members of the Senior Class Giving Campaign Committee who reach out to fellow classmates to encourage them to give back to whichever department, program or organization that had the biggest impact on their life at Elon.

Be Immortalized

Exclusive opportunity for the class of 2013! Nearly 125 years ago, Elon opened its doors as an institution committed to helping students pave pathways to success. Now, as Elon approaches its 125th anniversary, we are offering an exclusive opportunity for Elon’s seniors and alumni to pave the way for future generations of students and alumni.

From April 15 to May 31, seniors can make their mark at Elon’s new Alumni Center, opening fall 2013 in the heart of campus. For your gift of $75, Elon will engrave a brick in your honor and have it installed at the center, a home for all alumni when they return to campus! This ensures that students, alumni and friends recognize your support of the incredible opportunities and traditions that make Elon the special place we all love. Your gift will support the best of Elon—quality academics, student scholarships, outstanding faculty, premier facilities and distinctive opportunities such as the Elon Experiences.

Don’t miss this one-time opportunity to become a permanent part of the new Alumni Center. Reserve your brick today!

So how will you feel after ordering a brick?

 

Why should I give?

Think about your time at Elon.

Your winter term or semester studying abroad, catching up with President Lambert at college coffee, undergraduate research, the Turkey Trot, studying in a private room in Belk…...Got it?

Now take that experience and think about it being 19% less of what it was. Your tuition only covers 81% of the cost of your education. That solely includes the cost of maintaining Elon as is. No new lab equipment, no renovation to sports fields, no increase in scholarships, no new strives in sustainability. Nothing.

Just as college tuition is an investment in yourself, making a gift is an investment in Elon. Without donations in addition to tuition that means in your time at Elon that you would not have seen the implementation of the Bio Buses, new students organizations on campus, the creation of the Linder building or the Colonnades, the placement of art pieces around Elon, or the new athletic field house. Future classes would not have the new colonnades (with solar hot water and geo thermal wells), the multi-faith center, the Station at Mill Point, or the various new projects currently in the works.

What should I give to?

Anything. You have the ability to choose from hundreds of designations around campus. Anything from student scholarships, to athletics, to specific majors or departments. Simply choose where your gift could make the greatest difference and CLICK HERE TO MAKE YOUR GIFT NOW!
