New
grads set record for class gift participation and funds raised;
more than $500,000 to support renovation
The full-time
Class of 2005 has left an exciting legacy at the Kellogg School.
The 2005 Class Gift Campaign achieved 97 percent participation
and has pledged a total of $512,612 toward its collective
gift, which set a new record for class giving by nearly doubling
the highest amount raised in Kellogg history. The student
body voted to allocate the funds to renovate room 102 in the
Donald P. Jacobs Center. This study lounge will include a
solarium with a view of Deering Meadow and will be accented
with art.
Kellyn
Smith and Shannon Taylor led the gift campaign. Thanks to
their dedication and persistence, and their entire committee's
efforts, the class also raised enough to support future Kellogg
students by funding a scholarship in the Class of 2005's name.
The class
gift is a tradition at the Kellogg School and allows students
to leave a legacy for future classes. Graduating students
are asked to make a four-year pledge commitment to Kellogg.
The school is grateful for the generous support of our newest
alumni and for all their efforts in making this gift campaign
such a success! |
