A Class-y Gift

This year, GW seniors gave back the gift of reading through the annual class fund that supported new books for the University’s library system. More than 1,000 seniors voted to choose a library endowment as the class gift and in the end, more than $27,000 was raised, $2,000 more than the goal. A book plate designed by GW Graphic Design will go into each book purchased through these funds.

“This is really a gift that is going to have a lasting impact on the University,” said Joe Bondi, director of alumni constituency initiatives. “The students wanted go with an endowment fund in the hopes that people will continue to contribute to it and the endowment will last in perpetuity.”
