Class Giving Campaign

The Class Gift at SU Law is a fundraising campaign led by students in their last year of law school, providing a great way for the class to make a real difference in the life of the school and build on a tradition of giving back to SU Law.

Class of 2009 Giving Campaign

This year's efforts are led by an energetic and committed group of six: Danielle Cross, Stephanie Doherty, Kevin Hastings, Chiara Rowan McGowan, Ty Rogers and Kiersten Weinberger, all of whom also hold key leadership and member roles in journals, student groups and the greater SU Law community.

The Class of 2008 had a 49% participation rate, the highest percentage of class giving in the history of the law school and representing a tremendous effort on the part of all who gave and of the volunteer leadership of the campaign. The Class of 2009 strives to surpass this achievement and set a new standard of engagement for students and alumni.

Join the Giving Committee and other members of the Class of 2009 in supporting SU Law today. Online, you may participate in one of two ways: You may give your locker and/or refrigerator key deposit(s), each a $10 gift in support of the School of Law. You may give using your credit card, and pledge your support with your locker and/or refrigerator key deposit(s), if you wish to do both. Remember, participation is the goal so a gift of any size is welcome and very much appreciated.

Each graduate has the opportunity to make their gift in honor and in memory of family and friends and have these names listed in the graduation program. Also, all members of the class who make a contribution will be listed in the school's annual Report of Giving.

Hillary Madsen '08, a member of the Class of 2008 Committee stated in an article she wrote about the class gift for a student publication - "As we start our transition from law students to lawyers, our responsibilities change. The Class gift marks the beginning of our collective role as the protectors and benefactors of Seattle University School of Law. Instead of going to school, receiving the benefits and advantages of the scholastic community here, we now create the benefits and advantages for students here."

Your participation makes a difference. Help your class, the Class of 2009, support Seattle University School of Law with more than 50% student participation in the Giving Campaign. Make your gift today!
