The past four years at Loyola have made a tremendous impact on your life...

It is time to say thank you and leave your mark!

What is the Senior Class Gift Campaign?

Each year, Loyola's graduating seniors band together to raise funds for a gift to their soon-to-be alma mater. This tradition is a way of showing their thanks to the University, demonstrating their sense of community and connection, and leaving a lasting impact that reflects the spirit of their class.

The Class of 2012 has chosen to support the areas of campus that are especially meaningful to them both as a class and as individuals. This year, members of the Class of 2012 have the option to choose where to designate their gift as a way to show their thanks to the programs and experiences that shaped their time at Loyola. As a cohesive whole, the Class of 2012 will leave a legacy of generosity and gratefulness felt by all areas of campus. Here are the funds supported by this year's Senior Class Gift:

• General Scholarship Fund
• Athletics Fund
• Student Activities Fund
• Center for Community Service and Justice Fund
• Campus Ministry Fund

Who is leading the Senior Class Gift campaign?

Why should you support the Senior Class Gift?

• Unity and Communication:
  The Senior Class Gift Campaign is a perfect opportunity for members of the class to connect before graduation and to create communication channels for life after Loyola.
• Tradition and Pride:
  By giving a gift to Loyola, you are joining the thousands of alumni before you, who say "thank you" to the University through their annual gifts.
• Philanthropic Support:
  Think of all that you have gained from your Loyola experience - all the friends, lessons, experiences and memories.  The Senior Class Gift is your chance to give back!
• Message of Appreciation:
  The Senior Class Gift is the perfect way to show the Loyola Community that you value your degree from the University.

Why does my gift matter?

Every gift makes a difference.

1. Many publications (such as U.S. News & World Report) rank Loyola and use the percentage of alumni who donate annually to determine overall alumni satisfaction.
   
2. Foundations and corporations, in turn, look at alumni giving participation rates as they determine funding for non-profit institutions such as Loyola. 
   
3. Your gift helps contribute to the overall value of your Loyola University Maryland degree.

How do I give?

It's easy!  You can give using your credit/debit card or your Evergreen card.

How do I stay connected to Loyola after I graduate?

Participating in programs sponsored by the Alumni Association in Baltimore and throughout the country will allow you to remain close to your alma mater and friends and hear exciting news about the University.

  The Senior Class Barbeque, the Bull and Oyster Roast, and Reunions are just some of the events in store for the Class of 2012!
• Committees
