Student Volunteer Opportunities
Senior Class Gift volunteers encourage seniors to make their first gift (of any amount) to Holy Cross by participating in this collective act of philanthropy. As seniors transition from Holy Cross students to alumni, they can show their appreciation by paying it forward for future students and by becoming part of this notable tradition of giving back. For many, the drive is a meaningful start to a long-term relationship with the College as both donors and as volunteers.
The Senior Class Gift effort presents graduating seniors an opportunity to take part in the great tradition at Holy Cross of giving back. With more than 50% alumni participation, the Holy Cross community has a remarkable story to tell about satisfaction and loyalty. This level of donor participation runs counter to trends in higher education, and consistently places Holy Cross among the top 10 colleges and universities nationwide.
