50th Reunion

Class of 1958

Two Reunion Gifts Selected

Show your support, make your gift online.

The first, a gift of $50,000 made toward the renovation of the Alumni House, was chosen because we learned it will be matched by the generosity of an anonymous benefactor. This total has already been reached, giving our gift a $100,000 punch!

We've also nearly reached the halfway mark toward our second goal, which is to make a gift of equal size to the Center for Environment & Society, one of the College's Centers of Excellence.

The Reunion Committee urges everyone to give generously. Whatever amount you may have considered giving, please think about giving just a bit more to help us reach our goal.

If you've already made a gift and are in a position to consider a further contribution, your additional act of generosity would be most welcome.

To learn the various ways you can make a contribution, contact Jeff Appel at jappel2@washcoll.edu or call 1-800-422-1782, ext. 5735.

This is our one and only 50th Reunion. Working together, we can achieve great things to make it memorable for ourselves and for the College.

Thank you for your generosity.
