Themed months of giving

 

A passion for every 4th year

We, the Senior Class Gift Committee, are on a mission to help every fourth-year support their passion. That’s why each month, we pair up with RSOs and campus departments to bring awareness to areas of the University that directly affect student life and our community. Check out the months for this academic year and consider supporting the areas that matter to you most.
