Class Gift Program
The current
generation of college students is known for its philanthropic spirit, from
collecting cell phones for the needy to blood drives to tutoring at-risk kids.
The mission of the Class of 2012 Campaign is to heighten students' awareness of the Tech Loyalty Fund prior to their graduation. To learn more about the Class of 2012, click here.
The Class Gift Campaigns encourage students to reflect on what the generosity of others has meant to them. The hope is that today's Tech students will continue the new tradition of giving so that tomorrow's Tech students can enjoy the same benefits they had.
Committee members are selected at the end of 2nd semester for service in the following year. They work throughout the academic year developing an educational campaign on philanthropy and the Tech Loyalty Fund.
Student volunteers help to:
Design a marketing plan to advertise the drive to their peers, focusing on flyers, e-mails, phone calls and, most importantly, personal contacts.
Recruit a larger committee of campaigners to solicit pledges during a week held in April
The Class Gift Campaign fosters friendly competition as the current year's graduating class works to beat the previous class's participation level.
Students involved with the committee will have the opportunity to:
Develop leadership skills
Contribute to class spirit and school pride
Increase the value of their Tech degree
Meet a diverse
group of fellow students
