Student Giving Program

Thank you, Class of 2012 Donors!

Class of 2012 Donors - Thank You for your generous contribution to the Senior Class Gift Campaign! As you know, your class was the first to move away from a project-based effort to one that is of utmost importance to the University – The Clarkson Fund. You raised $2,379 with a 23% participation rate; one of the highest participation rates in Clarkson’s Senior Gift Campaign history!

Your gift to The Clarkson Fund will directly impact current and future students alike. In recognition of your contributions, an incoming freshman will be named the “Class of 2012 Scholar.” Once your scholar is selected, you will receive information about the student in the fall. In addition, your class gift will also be recognized with a display in the Alumni Gateway!

What is the Student Giving Program?

The Student Giving Program is a tradition that allows each graduating class the opportunity to give something back to Clarkson.  It is a time when all seniors can unite in commemorating their time at CU and leave behind a lasting legacy of their time spent on campus. Participation in the Student Giving Program is a commitment that begins a lifetime of involvement with Clarkson – the first step in the transition from student to alumnus/a.

Where will my contribution go?

Clarkson has embarked on a $225 million fundraising initiative, The E²E (Evolution to Excellence) Campaign, that is energizing Clarkson through huge advances in academics, resources, and facilities. This multi-year campaign for greatness is the key to new ideas, effective answers, and unlimited possibilities; the key to creating a community that stands apart from other institutions.

As a central priority of the E2E Campaign, The Clarkson Fund delivers immediate results and enhanced possibilities for today’s students. E2E is our practical formula for forward progress at Clarkson, and The Clarkson Fund is how you can help today! 

The 2012 Senior Class Gift Campaign is an effort to raise necessary funds for The Clarkson Fund.  Seniors will be asked to give to The Clarkson Fund and become a part of the Clarkson alumni community that has a tradition of loyal alumni support. In recognition for the Class of 2012 gifts to The Clarkson Fund, an incoming freshman who receives financial aid will be named “The Class of 2012 Scholar.” Your contribution to The Clarkson Fund is a contribution to the E2E Campaign. This is how you help shape the future of Clarkson University…and of the world.
