“Donating a Senior Gift is the least we can do as students who have benefited from the countless opportunities that Utah State University has offered us.”
—Blake Nemelka, 2012 Senior Gift Chair
The Senior Class of 2012 has chosen their Senior Gift to be an outdoor water station near the Quad area on campus. This water station will include at least one drinking fountain and a water bottle filling feature. Having this station will be very convenient to students because of its location outside and near a heavy traffic area. Providing this amenity to students not only promotes wellness, but it encourages students to be more environmentally conscious. We are reaching out to groups such as “Blue Goes Green” and “Students for Sustainability” for support in raising the necessary funds. In order to purchase and install this station, we need to raise at least $7,000.
Why Donate?
Last year, gifts from private donors totaled over $50 million. These gifts provide student scholarships and other means of educational support for undergraduates, and enhance the educational experience of every single student at USU. Giving to the Senior Gift provides an opportunity for each graduating senior to express their gratitude toward Utah State University for the educational experience they have had and the knowledge they have gained. As you end your career as a USU student and begin your life as a USU alumnus, give to the Senior Gift and show your dedication to improving USU for current and future Aggies!
Other benefits for donating include:
- 1 year sustaining membership to the USU Alumni Association
- Have your name listed as a donor in the commencement book along with the name(s) of an indivdual or couple you would like to recognized for contributing to your educational experience
- Unite the Class of 2012 by making a difference here at USU!
All gifts to the Senior Gift are counted in the University's current campaign—Honoring Tradition, Securing our Future.
