Senior Class Campaign

Senior Class Campaign

Our Senior Class Gift Campaign starts on July 1, 2007 and goes until June 30, 2008.

Our Class Goal is:  To fund an endowed scholarship (and to beat last year's gift effort)!

• Lets raise:  $2,500
• And let’s reach 70 % class participation (if we reach this goal we will have made Roanoke College History)!  Plus we will have a stone paver placed in the Alumni House patio! 

Your Class, Your College

Class of 2008 Pledge Agreement

The Senior Class Campaign is all about the class of 2008 giving back. As we transition from “students” to “alumni” we trust that Roanoke has given us all the tools we will need for a meaningful, productive life. Now our alma mater needs us to give in return.

The College is a private institution and relies heavily on the annual fund-raising campaign called the Roanoke Fund. Each gift given helps to generate the necessary dollars to operate and fulfill the mission of the College - for you and for all future students. Our alumni are the major donors who help the College reach many goals - in other words, alumni help keep the future of the College bright.

Your Class, Your College

The Senior Class Campaign helps to unite the members of the graduating class. Participation is vital. A long-standing tradition at Roanoke is that each class will work together to raise more money and have a higher number of gifts than the previous class-a challenge that requires commitment, leadership, and a sense of pride in the College. Each Class that reaches at least 40% class giving is recognized with an engraved paver placed in the Henry H. Fowler ’29 Alumni House patio.

The Senior Class Scholarship will be awarded to a rising senior at the senior dinner in April.  An Endowed Scholarship will out at 5% every year enabling a rising senior with a scholarship award forever!

Still need a reason to make your senior gift? How about honoring a relative, professor, or a friend that made a difference in your Roanoke experience? You can name your gift in their honor or in their memory. Every senior gift and every honoree will be listed in the official commencement program. This is a great way to publicly thank someone who has made a difference in your life. Go here:
