Support Salem State

2009 Graduating Students Gift Campaign

Dear Classmate,

Congratulations!  We are well on our way to becoming alumni of Salem State College. With Commencement just a few short months away, there is no better time than the present to start thinking about the various ways in which we can start giving back to our alma mater.

In the recent past, graduating seniors have given more than $1,000 each year in support of programming at the college. These students have left a legacy of excellent programs and resources for future students-including us! This year, in recognition of these difficult times, the senior gift will support to student financial aid.

If you believe that the Salem State experience has had, and will continue to have, a positive impact on your life, and if you want to make sure that future students have the same great experience, you can do so by contributing to our Senior Class Gift.

Every senior is being asked to give $20.09, in honor of our graduation year, to this year's campaign. While the majority of gifts will most likely be at this level, gifts of $50, $100, or more are certainly welcome.  Any amount helps our college, and no gift is too small. If you have any questions, please call Lori Boudo at 978.542.7404 or email lboudo@salemstate.edu.

Sincerely,

Sonja Deceus               Quin Gonell                 Jessica Herrick                        Mimosa Long            

P.S.  Before you graduate, don't forget to purchase your personal engraved brick for placement in Alumni Plaza in front of the Ellison Campus Center. Between now and our May 17, 2009 graduation, members of the class of 2009 can purchase a commemorative brick at a 50 percent discount!
