The Senior Class Gift Campaign (SCGC)’s mission is to educate graduating students about the importance of giving back to Bowdoin and engage them in contributing to the Alumni Fund. Through the SCGC seniors gain an understanding of how their Bowdoin experiences have been shaped, in part, by the support of Bowdoin alumni, and have the opportunity to support Bowdoin through a contribution to their class scholarship fund.
Challenge Grant: If the Class of 2013 reaches at least 60% participation in gift/pledge combinations, an anonymous donor will contribute $10,000 each year for the next four years in order to establish and support the Class of 2013 Scholarship Fund.
Our Goal: The senior class’s goal is to exceed 75% participation before graduation.

This position offered me the incredible opportunity to further my involvement with Bowdoin in a way that would not only utilize my previous experiences at the College, but would also allow me to continue to serve the College once I enter the working world.

Why did you decide to get involved in the SCGC?
As the daughter of an alumnus, I used to visit Bowdoin when I was younger to attend reunion events and different sports games, and it was then that I first realized how strong the Bowdoin community truly is. Now, over a decade later, I have decided to get involved in the SCGC because my past few years at Bowdoin have been incredible, and I wanted to be an active player in contributing to the College's success. The campaign recognizes that the support from past Polar Bears affects every aspect of our experience at Bowdoin, and it serves to ensure that Bowdoin can continue to provide its students with a college experience that is truly unparalleled.
