Behind every Trinity Student – An Annual Fund Donor
There are numerous traditions for Trinity seniors,
including a final birthday dunking, senior shirts, being toasted at the
Last Great Reception, putting together the Time Capsule, climbing the
tower for the final time, and having your family and friends see you
walk across the stage in Laurie Auditorium as a college graduate.
Another longstanding Trinity senior tradition is to give
back. Seniors since 1992 have shown their appreciation of the university by
making a gift back to Trinity. The senior class gift is presented as a
scholarship to an incoming student the following year, giving someone else
the opportunities you have had as a student.

A gift of at least $20.08
also gives you the opportunity to sign a brick at the top of
Murchison Tower during the annual Senior Casino Tower Party, which
will be held on April 29, 2008. The event is hosted by the
Trinity University Student Ambassadors
and is open to all seniors.
The
class of 2007 set the all-time participation and giving record, with
more than 52% of the class making gifts totaling $6,851. Your 2008
Senior Gift Committee is committed to breaking that record. |
