Annual Giving raised $61.5 million in 2014–15, celebrating its 75th anniversary with a record total. About 60.3 percent of undergraduate alumni contributed.
The 50th-reunion Class of 1965 led the way, raising $7.4 million. The Class of 1990 raised $7 million to celebrate its 25th reunion, followed by the Class of 1970 ($5 million). Other leaders were the classes of 1985 ($4.8 million), 1980 ($3.5 million), 1995 ($2.7 million), and 1975 ($1.6 million). Graduate alumni contributed $1.8 million. President Eisgruber ’83 described the results as “truly remarkable” and expressed gratitude to volunteers and donors.
When it debuted 75 years ago, Annual Giving brought in $80,000 — less than half of what was raised on an average day in 2014–15.
