Nathan Goldstein, the office's assistant director for annual giving, is in charge of the project. The gift is a senior's first gracious act as an alumnus. It also serves as a reminder to the underclassmen that they too, as a class, have a job to improve student life on campus. The gift will help students to express their school spirit by contributing to the school. At the same time, it will also unite the class and strengthen bonds as students work to put together the right gifts.
Money is the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks about contribution.
But the senior gift is a little more thought-processed than that. The Senior Gift Project is still under construction. The committee is currently looking for student leaders from the class of '00 who are willing to serve on the Planning Committee. The committee will be made up of students with diverse backgrounds in academics and student life. It would help if the students have already been in other positions of leadership or student life such as athletics or other committees.
