The time has finally come! This weekend, you will walk across the stage and receive recognition for all of your hard work during your time at Carolina. As you get ready to move on, I want to send you an update of what you’re leaving behind.

The Class of 2017 will go down as the most generous graduating class in USC history. We not only met our goal of getting 550 seniors to donate by April 11th, but way surpassed it with 646 gifts by then!

However, y’all did not stop there. As of today 747 senior donors have collectively raised over $20,000 for continuing and future USC students!! This is an outstanding legacy to leave behind, and on behalf of the Office of Annual Giving, we appreciate your participation.

We look forward to seeing you sport your green and gold cords that symbolize your first gift to the university at commencement and wish you all the best in your next steps.

Forever to thee,

Danielle L. Padgett ‘16

Coordinator for Annual Giving

WOW! With 12 days left to go, we are more than 78% of the way to our goal of 550 donors before April 11th! By the numbers, we’ve had 434 donors who have collectively raised close to $9,000. THANK YOU for your help getting us so close!

We are amazed by the impact you’ve made, but we’ll need your help getting to our goal of 550 senior donors by April 11th. During the grad fair, we were inspired hearing from so many of you about your experiences at Carolina, your future plans and your reasons for giving back through the Senior Class Legacy campaign. Now we want to hear from all of you about what fund you gave to and why. Share it with us for a chance to win a Carolina prize pack including a tumbler, a t-shirt and other Gamecock themed goodies!

To be entered to win, simply share your reason for giving back with a link to the campaign on Facebook or Twitter between now (March 31) and 11:59 p.m. this Sunday (April 2). Make sure we can see the post by using the hashtag #SCL2017 and making it public.

Please share our campaign today to help us maximize the impact of the Class of 2017!

For Carolina,

Your Senior Class Officers

P.S. Mark your calendars! If you made a gift of $20.17 or more, cord pick up will be April 13th from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. in Russell House Room 201.
