The Senior Class Council recently kicked off its Senior Gift Campaign with a video featuring Chancellor Mark S. Wrighton and students doing the Harlem Shake in the chancellor’s office.
The goal for the campaign, according to 2013 Senior Class President J.R. Davis, is to top 85 percent participation by members of the undergraduate class. Seniors can get more information and find a link to donate by visiting here.
“What’s really great about the Senior Gift Campaign is that there are so many good reasons for seniors to be a part of it and make to a donation,” said Davis. “A large part of our undergraduate experience was made possible through the giving of others. This campaign gives seniors the chance to give back to future generations of students and shape their experience in a positive way.”
