This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bryant chapter.

This article is directed towards the seniors of Bryant University so if you’re a senior, keep reading, if you’re not-grab a senior and tell them to read this!  The Senior Class Gift Commitee, each year, is responsible for not only leading the Senior Class Gift Commitee but is also responsible for all the fundraising efforts of the senior class!

This year, their goal is to raise $40,000 with a participation of 57% of the senior class.  Which, by the way, is totally do-able.  Each year, the senior class has not only reached their goal but they have actually beat it.  So seniors, take this as a challenge and blow every single other class out of the water.

Your first chance to get involved in the class gift will take place on Tuesday November 19th from 5-6:30PM in Papitto/Heritage in The Fisher Center.  This evening will be the Senior Class Gift Kick Off Event!

Here you will all be able to:

  • Vote on our class gift
  • Enjoy two complimentary drinks
  • Chow down on some awesome appetizers
  • Donate money to support our efforts in leaving behind a legacy for the Class of 2014!

Tickets to this event are $5 and can be purchased from 10am-2pm every day this week!  Tables will be either in the Rotunda or the ATM outside of Salmo (depending on the day!)

If you cannot make this event, don’t fret!  You can still donate to help support your class and help in leaving a legacy!  A link will soon be released for an online spot to donate however much you want!  Keep your eyes peeled for that, but until then, like the Facebook page and follow the class gift on Twitter!  If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to any of your co-chairs with any questions: Mariah Burgess, Jessica Kline, Mike Malenfant, & Jim Rubino
