King’s College Seniors to Donate Funds to Support Higher Education

Tuition rates at American colleges and universities only cover two-thirds of the cost to educate a student. “Alumni donations and gifts of kind often make up the difference,” says Kim Cardone, Senior Class Coordinator.

The King’s College Senior Class participates in a tradition of giving back by pledging an amount of money before graduation payable over five years. The donation will be used to benefit the college, and its direct use is voted upon by the class at their five year reunion.

The Senior Class Gift Program is in the process of recruiting students for its committee. Twelve Chairs were nominated by faculty and staff last week. These chairs are recruiting Team Captains to head a group of students that will inform their fellow classmates about the program.

The Senior Class Gift Committee will be hosting a “Wine and Cheese” Kick-off Event on Thursday, January 19th at 6:30 p.m. on the 3rd Floor of the Sheehy-Farmer Campus Center.
