<\/a>Senior students can make gifts to the Senior Challenge until the day of graduation. Donations are encouraged to be made no later than April 21 if you want to be recognized in the graduation commencement program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While all seniors are asked and encouraged to make donations to reach this year\u2019s goal, Gattis wants to remind us that the Senior Class Challenge is not just about raising money for the school. However, students can choose where their challenge gifts end up. \u201cI chose to give to The Student Aid Fund because this is a super expensive place to go and ensuring scholarships are funded is important,\u201d said Gattis. She wants help from fellow classmates to give future Pioneers a great experience at Marietta College by making a gift to the Senior Class Challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe\u2019re focused on 100% participation \u2013 we really want seniors to be involved, and this is just the first step for when they become alumni,\u201d said Gattis. It is important to Gattis as president of this committee to encourage and motivate her fellow seniors to want to give back to the college and leave their mark on campus outside of academics, athletics, or other forms of involvement at MC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are challenging seniors to give back, but we are hoping to start more initiative in the future to get the student body more involved with things on campus,\u201d said Gattis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
