Calling all new alumni! 

If you graduated within the past five years (2021-2025), we have $25 for you to direct to the Giving Day funding area that matters most to you. But act fast, because it’s only open to the first 2,000 participants — that’s $50,000 that you and your fellow alumni can designate — and it's first come, first served.
