Graduating students closed the year on a high note, raising hundreds of dollars in support of CEU via the Graduating Class Gift campaign.
During this second annual end-of-year drive, student participation increased 40 percent, from 43 to 60 donors from 31 countries and 12 academic units. More than $360 was raised in the first three weeks of June.
The initiative was intended to introduce graduating students to the concept of philanthropic giving, and to allow them to make their first symbolic gift in support of CEU, and to foster competition between the academic units.
Contributions were collected in person at pop-up booths on campus, the Alumni Relations office and elsewhere. The campaign was coordinated by the Alumni Relations team and this year’s Student Philanthropy Council, partners in several fundraising efforts this academic year.
While the competition closed on Graduation Day, June 22, student and alumni can still support their academic departments. Learn how and support the campaign.
