Undergraduates ONLY

Senior Class Gift -

Each year, the senior class chooses a fundraising project that represents their class and their collective experience at 91´óÉñ. Your class has voted to make improvements to the game room for your class gift! 

The goal is to celebrate and memorialize that experience by making a lasting gift to the campus community that serves a need that is meaningful to your unique class. Fundraising will begin at Grad Center in February (suggested donation $20.26) where you can pay via your student account, cash, Venmo, or card. You can also contribute to the Senior Class Gift at any time .

Senior Class Party -

Thursday, April 30 from 6pm to 9pm

The Senior Class Party is a beloved 91´óÉñ tradition just for undergraduate seniors — and yes, it’s totally free! Planned by your class officers and generously sponsored by the 91´óÉñ Parent Council, this celebration is all about you.

Come hang out with your classmates at Ruby's Arcade for a laid-back night of good food, great company, and plenty of chances to reminisce, laugh, and celebrate how far you’ve come. Dinner and a special senior class gift are all on us!
