How is your class performing this year? Regardless of gift amount or designation, all gifts from alumni are counted toward their class year’s total gift. Reunion giving in particular is a critical component of the college’s fundraising efforts. Each year, gifts made in honor of one’s class reunion account for approximately one-third of the total dollars raised for Dickinson, even though they make up only one-fifth of the alumni community.
Alumni support for Dickinson demonstrates the value of a Dickinson education and impacts important college rankings like the U.S. News and World Report’s “Best Colleges” as well as grant-offering organizations. Your gift not only helps today’s students—it also impacts the value of your own degree.

Dickinson’s fiscal year runs July 1-June 30.
