Congrats, Seniors!
Soon, all the long hours you spent taking notes, writing papers, giving presentations and cramming for tests will finally pay off. As you begin to countdown the days until graduation and new beginnings, show your Rider pride by joining your classmates in supporting the 2008 Class Pride Gift. What is it?
The Class Pride Gift is a long-standing tradition in which graduating Seniors come together to actively invest in the future of Rider by making their first gift back to the University.
The Class of 2008's Gift…
This year, you have the option to designate your gift either to the Class of 2008 Project: Improved seating areas for the Student Recreation Center (SRC) or to The Rider Annual Fund.
• Gifts to the Improved Seating Areas for the Student Recreation Center will support the purchasing of additional seating near the Starbucks cafe.
• Gifts to the Rider Annual Fund will support a wide array of University programs and areas including student financial aid, campus improvements, and technology upgrades.
Participation…
The most important part of the 2008 Class Pride Gift is your participation! Last year, the Class of 2007 achieved the highest Class Pride participation rate, with 27% of their class participating. You have the opportunity to help the Class of 2008 surpass this mark and set the bar even higher for future classes. As an added incentive, participants who contribute $20.08 or more will receive a Class of 2008 Senior T-shirt, but gifts of any amount are encouraged and appreciated!
