    Q. Why should I sign up early?
    A. We encourage you to sign-up early, especially if you plan to stay on-campus. Campus housing fills up quickly. Details are abundant in planning these types of events. In order for us to continue making Reunion as cost efficient as possible, the caterers and building supervisors need final numbers as early as possible.

    Q. What is the Reunion Class Gift?

    A. The Reunion Class Gift gives alumni in their reunion year the unique opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to Assumption to commemorate their special milestone as an alum. Gifts to The Assumption Fund (or, in some cases, class-specific scholarships) provide crucial support for the greatest needs of the University, including financial aid, academic programs, campus ministry, and more. Each class is challenged with meeting (or exceeding!) their Reunion Class Gift participation goals. The Reunion Class Gift reflects the enthusiasm of each reunion class and their affection for Assumption while providing a lasting impact on the future of the University.

    There can be tax advantages to making donations of appreciated securities, and corporate matching gifts count toward your class gift. This can be an easy way to double, or even triple, the impact of your gift.

    Every gift made by the close of Assumption’s fiscal year, May 31st – no matter what size – counts toward class participation!
