Why I Give

Hear from Recent Alumni - Why We Give

For the first time in 2008, the Senior Class Gift was donated to the Emmanuel College Annual Fund, giving us the chance to give back and honor the education, the people and the opportunities, which have formed our fondest memories and primed us for the "real world." With this gift, we began a tradition but also left a legacy that reflects our individuality and leadership as a class!

Andrew Marrone '08
Supporting: Center for Mission and Spirituality
Emmanuel's mission of service has impacted me greatly over the past four years. Through volunteer work with the Peace and Justice Club, experiencing Alternative Spring Break in Camden, New Jersey, and participating in the many programs Campus Ministry has to offer, I have grown to appreciate how blessed I am in my life and how important it is to give back to others.

Elizabeth Ard '08
Supporting: Financial Aid
I know how important financial aid is to the education of my peers. I have been able to attend Emmanuel College because of generous support from the alumni donors. Now I feel it is my turn to give back and help other students continue their education here at Emmanuel.

Jessica Sic '08
Supporting: Academic Excellence
It has been a goal of mine to become a teacher, and now that I'm a senior, it's really going to happen! I couldn't have done it without the support of the education department faculty, and they certainly deserve as much support as they can in a field that is constantly growing and changing.

Chris Meffert '08
Supporting: Student Life
The theater guild has been a major part of my experience here at Emmanuel, and as the [former] president, this is a way I can give back to an organization that's given me four years worth of experience and friendships.

Molly Zuccarini '08
Supporting: Financial Aid
Financial Aid is important for me to support so that others, regardless of their financial situation, will have the opportunities to receive a wonderful education here at Emmanuel.

The Annual Fund provides financial support to many areas that tuition and room and board fees do not cover. Make an online gift »
