The goal of the campaign is the highest class participation. Rensselaer is striving for 25 percent class participation or 325 seniors. Gifts may be paid over a two-year period. The senior class gift campaign is seeking to raise money for the Rensselaer Annual Fund, which helps to support student activities, research and innovation, scholarship, and entrepreneurship. “This is just one way that the Class of 2003 can show its support for the groundbreaking changes happening at Rensselaer,” said Rick Hartt ’70, director of the Rensselaer Union. “The objective of this program is to show seniors the impact that philanthropy has had on them, as well as to give them the opportunity to carry on the tradition of supporting their alma mater.” For more information on the senior class gift campaign, go to www.alumni.rpi.edu/mad/as_2003.html. 4/7/03
