Help your class reach its reunion participation goal before December 31. A gift of any size to any area of SMU makes a difference. Consider purchasing a Centennial paver as a gift for yourself or a loved one. This helps your class and makes a great gift for the holiday season at the same time.

The annual giving rate is a significant part of the formula used to determine ranking in publications such as U.S. News & World Report. A high ranking helps SMU attract the best and brightest students and faculty, thus increasing the prestige of this great University.

An annual gift of any size each and every year indicates alumni’s vote of confidence and symbolizes their inspired gratitude for their experience at SMU.
When measuring alumni giving participation, a $100 gift counts the same as a $1 million gift. Gifts to any area of SMU count as reunion year gifts and are part of The Second Century Campaign totals.
Because SMU’s base of support is lower than its peers, the Board of Trustees has set a goal of SMU’s Second Century Campaign to focus on annual support. By 2015, SMU hopes that 25% of its alumni will consistently make annual gifts.

Help your class reach its goal! Celebrate your reunion year during SMU’s centennial with a gift to SMU. View more information on why your gift makes a difference. Ready to join the effort? Give now.

All gifts to SMU from January 1, 2012 – December 31, 2012, count toward your class goal.

If you have already made a gift this year, we thank you. Your participation matters.
