Senior Class Gift - Give to your alma mater
Each year, the senior class chooses a fundraising project that represents their class and their collective experience at EMU. The goal is to celebrate and memorialize that experience by making a lasting gift to the campus community that serves a need that is meaningful to your unique class. Fundraising will begin at Grad Center in February (suggested donation $20.26) where you can pay via your student account, cash, Venmo, or card. You can also contribute to the Senior Class Gift at any time here.
