    Senior Class Gift Campaign

    Every year, the senior class raises money through the Senior Class Gift Campaign. This philanthropic tradition leaves your class’ legacy on campus. Philanthropy is the act of supporting something you love with your time, talent, and treasure — paying it forward as other

    Captains have done for you. By making a donation through Class Glass, Senior Week event, or Legacy Brick, you are supporting the campaign!
