Reunion Giving
Each year during Alumni Reunion Weekend, two giving awards are presented on Saturday afternoon: the Reunion Giving Award (highest amount contributed) and the Class of 1948 Margaret Bailey Speer Award (highest total participation by a reunion class).
In celebration of their 50th reunion, the Class of 1976 earned both giving awards: 63% of the class supported Shipley this year and together they contributed $174,683.01* — the highest amount ever raised by a reunion class in Alumni Weekend history! Congratulations and thank you to the Class of 1976 for demonstrating such generosity and leadership in honor of your milestone 50th reunion year.
