Understanding Class Gift

What is the Class Gift Campaign?

Every Terrier leaves BU transformed. The Class Gift Campaign is your chance to look back on the organizations, programs, and experiences that shaped your journey—and say thank you in a big way. By giving to the places that mattered most to you, you’re paying it forward for future Terriers. Last year, the Class of 2025 raised over $101,000 for causes across BU from 1,700 graduating students. Let’s make this year even bigger!

What is the Class Gift Committee?

The Class Gift Committee is a team of undergraduate and graduate leaders who rally the graduating class to give back, host events and programs for this milestone, and help welcome the Class of 2026 into the BU Alumni Association.

Who should join the committee?

Love BU? Want to give back? Join the Class Gift Committee—open to all undergrad and grad students from all BU schools. We’re looking for passionate, motivated leaders who enjoy networking, public speaking, event and program planning, philanthropy education, fundraising, and connecting with the BU community. Time commitment includes a weekly committee meeting and monthly events.

While the Co-Chairs of the committee must be rising seniors in the Class of 2023, graduate students and underclassmen are welcome (and strongly encouraged!) to apply for Board and Junior Board member positions.
Candidates must be passionate, motivated, organized, self-starters who are comfortable with public speaking, volunteer coordination, and networking with students, staff, and faculty, as well as BU clubs, programs, and departments.

The weekly time commitment includes: regular office hours, weekly committee meetings, and occasional evening/weekend events.
