A reunion year is a special time to reconnect with classmates and reflect on what ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà means as alumni. It is a time to return to campus, walk among the red brick buildings, dip toes into the cool waters of Miller Fountain, and listen to the bells of Murchison Tower. A reunion year celebrates the accomplishments of all ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà alumni and reminds graduates that they are all truly Tigers at heart.
Stewardship is just one way to demonstrate #TigerPride.
A reunion year is a great opportunity for alumni to give back.

When making a gift to ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ, a donor has the option to make either an unrestricted gift to the ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà Fund or to designate that gift to a specific department, organization, or team on campus. Gifts to the ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà Fund are particularly valuable as they support areas of greatest need, such as undergraduate scholarship, ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ’s living and learning environment, and also recruitment of the talented faculty that makes ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà second-to-none.
ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà recognizes and appreciates all levels of financial support. The University understands that every dollar our alumni earn is valuable and the University encourages alumni to donate the most comfortable amount. Whether an alumnus/a is making their first gift as a graduate or becoming a member of the ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà Associates, ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà thanks our alumni for their commitment to the excellence and quality that is ÐÔ°®ÌìÌÃ. Participation in the ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà annual reunion giving campaign has deep roots in the power of collective giving.
Making a reunion pledge should be convenient and work around an alumnus/a’s schedule. As an alumnus/a, there is the option to divide a pledge into monthly, quarterly, or bi-annual payments. The full amount of the pledge, regardless of the number of payments, will still be recognized in that specific class’ reunion gift. A campaign pledge can be made , with a paper pledge form, or by calling Cynthia Uviedo '93,Ìýdirector forÌýReunion Giving, at 210-999-8537.
Reunion Giving Volunteers
For those who simply cannot contain their love of ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà and enjoy sharing the importance of philanthropy with others, there is the opportunity to serve as a reunion volunteer for a reunion giving campaign.
In this role, a volunteer will be asked to share why stewardship to ÐÔ°®ÌìÌà is an important part of their alumni experience and also to solicit gifts from classmates. This is an alumni’s chance to describe the impact a gift can make on both current and future Tigers. Donations also give a helpful boost to the alumni giving participation rate as well.
For questions about class progress or to join a reunion class gift committee, please contact Cynthia Uviedo '93 at 210-999-8537 orÌýcuviedo@trinity.edu.
