Reunion Giving
Over the course of this year, your class will come together to help students who are striving to follow in your footsteps. As you reflect on your own education and time in Rochester, please consider supporting the School of Medicine & Dentistry. Your gift is an investment in the Rochester community and in students, residents, and trainees. This campaign honors your time at the University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry and offers you a way to make a lasting impact on the areas you feel most passionate about.
Class goal
Our focus remains on how you can come together as a class to make a significant difference for the future of our students, the University of Rochester, and the Medical Center. All gifts-of any amount-to any area within the University or the Medical Center-can count toward your Reunion Class Gift Campaign. The full amount of all pledges and company matches made to the University will count too, even if you plan to pay your pledge over multiple installments.
REUNION CLASS GIFT CAMPAIGNS
Every reunion class has its own, special class-specific gift campaign, which runs from January 1 through December 31. However, due to Reunion being moved until June 2021, Reunion Giving has been extended until June 30, 2022. Any gift made by reunion alumni—to any school or program at the University of Rochester—also counts toward the class campaign, while making a significant impact wherever the gift is invested. For convenience, your pledge can be made during your reunion year and paid in multiple installments after the class campaign is completed.
There are many ways you can make a gift that will ensure tremendous impact both at the University and within your class campaign. Learn more.
REUNION GIVING OPPORTUNITIES
Rochester Loyal
Donors who make an annual fund gift of any amount for two or more consecutive years become members of our Rochester Loyal giving society.
George Eastman Circle
In honor of your Reunion this year, the University of Rochester invites you to become a member of the George Eastman Circle, the University's leadership annual giving society. George Eastman Circle members are University leaders whose critical Annual Fund gifts provide resources that will make an immediate impact.
Dean's Circle
Our Dean's Circle giving society recognizes donors who support the School of Medicine and Dentistry with an annual gift of $1,500 or more. In recognition of your support at this level, you and a guest will be invited to the School of Medicine and Dentistry’s signature dinner and alumni awards presentation held every October as part of the University's Meliora Weekend.
Wilson Society
A planned gift to the University of Rochester is one of the easiest ways to make the greatest and longest-lasting impact on the programs you care most about, while supporting the University’s mission. Including the University in your will, known as a bequest, qualifies you to become a member of the Wilson Society and ensures the areas you care most about continue to thrive at the University well beyond your lifetime.
