Senior Class Gift Campaign

When one-third of the senior class participates in the Senior Class Gift Campaign, a $10,000 gift to financial aid will be given in honor of the Class of 2022. To participate, you can donate to the initiatives that have shaped your experience at Tufts up until now, from club sports, to the DSDI centers, to Pre-O programs, and more. Tufts Student Giving will be tabling in the Campus Center this week on Tuesday to Thursday from 1 to 4 p.m. to accept donations and distribute Class of 2022 donor shirts!
