Most colleges hold reunions celebrating the year of graduation. As you know, here at Hampshire, we like to do things a little differently; we celebrate the anniversary of your entry at Hampshire.
The anniversary class program promotes increased giving every 5 years and encourages alums to return to campus in May to re-engage with classmates and the College. Since we instituted the anniversary class program 4 years ago, we have seen giving by members of anniversary classes double.
