Boston College seniors have participated in the Senior Class Gift campaign since the 1960s, when alumni volunteer James F. Stanton ’42 helped establish the first program of its kind at BC in the hope of inspiring lifelong giving to the University. This year, led by a committee of 40 students, the Class of 2008 became part of this tradition of giving—and exceeded all recent participation rates.

SENIOR CLASS GIFT PARTICIPATION RATES:

Class of 2008  45%

Class of 2007  30%

Class of 2006  27%

Class of 2005  35%

Class of 2004  39%

Class of 2003  38%

The success of this year’s campaign shows the increasing recognition among the student body that they have a responsibility to support Boston College. As Alexandra Faklis ’08, this year’s chair of the Senior Class Gift Committee, notes, “It’s important to give back so that others can benefit from a similar, if not better, BC experience.”
