Seniors’ gift to help spruce up library

By Danielle Larson
Co-Editor in Chief

As their Senior Class Gift, the Class of 2009 will be making improvements to the Fitzgerald Library.

Improvements will include adding more desks, larger tables, sound barriers, couches, chairs and more space for study groups in order to make a more comfortable study area.

Giving donations for the gift is a way for seniors to “show commitment and support for the continuing legacy of their school,” according to the Senior Class Library Fund brochure.

Each year, the senior class puts together a committee to come up with a Senior Class Gift idea. This year’s committee consists of 30 seniors.

Senior Class Gift committee representatives will be speaking with individual classmates about donations they would like to make and about the payment plan they want to use.

Committee members will be outside the cafeteria during lunches with donation cards. Seniors can choose their pledge amounts by filling out the card.

Seniors can also choose when they would like to start donating, whether they want to make payments over one, two or three years and whether they want to make annual, semi-annual or quarterly payments.

According to senior Mandy Haus, seniors can donate in honor of someone, a professor, department, club, etc. The honored party will be notified that someone donated in their honor.

Senior Class Library Fund brochures are available for anyone needing more information. Contact Bob Fisher, directot of annual giving, at rfisher@smumn.edu with questions.
