Reunion Volunteers

The Reunion Gift Program is vital to the success of Partners in Annual Giving. Each year, more than 250 alumni are involved in an effort to encourage greater participation and giving in honor of their class anniversaries. A committee of classmates is established to help plan each 5-year milestone reunion. These volunteers encourage their classmates to participate in the reunion gift campaign, and they present their gift to the college during their reunion celebration.
