Reunion Giving 2002: A Tradition of Pride and Purpose

"What we present to our alma mater in May will reflect not only our gratitude for the education we received but also our responsibility as Penn alumni who now have the wisdom and perspective to understand the importance of giving back."
--Class of 1977 Reunion Brochure

In a year of special challenge, Alumni Weekend 2002 not only demonstrated the strength of the Penn community, but also affirmed that the spirit of generosity at the University of Pennsylvania is alive and well. Clearly, Penn alumni do understand the "importance of giving back," with three reunion classes-1947, 1952, and 1957- setting new giving records and three reunion classes-1937, 1982, and 2002-setting new donors records.
