Reunion classes have an important charge ahead of them: to make a significant and tangible difference in the lives of Susquehanna’s current students.

Alumni from each reunion class this fall, every five-year class from 1957 to 2002, will be asked to commemorate their reunion year by making a gift to the Reunion Scholarship Fund, which will support scholarships awarded to rising sophomores next spring.

Each class will have a goal of 50 percent participation from its class members and has a dollar goal corresponding to its reunion year:

2002 – 5th reunion = $5,000

1997 – 10th reunion = $10,000

1992 – 15th reunion = $15,000

1987 – 20th reunion = $20,000

1982 – 25th reunion = $25,000

1977 – 30th reunion = $30,000

1972 – 35th reunion = $35,000

1967 – 40th reunion = $40,000

1962 – 45th reunion = $45,000

1957 – 50th reunion = $50,000

To make a reunion gift online, go to http://development.susqu.edu/html/now/now.html. Or send a check to the Susquehanna University Fund, 514 University Avenue, Selinsgrove, PA 17870.

Gifts of securities can be a smart way to avoid capital gain taxes and get a current year income tax deduction for the full value of your gift. Susquehanna University recently placed forms online to improve the security transfer process.

If you have securities that can be transferred electronically to Susquehanna University’s account at Janney Montgomery Scott, please click here. If your broker does not require a signed form, you may give them Susquehanna’s account information or copy and paste the form into an e-mail. Transfer securities through Janney Montgomery Scott DTC #0374 for Susquehanna University’s account number 8061-4270. Susquehanna University’s EIN is 23-1353385.

If you have stock or bond certificates, please click here to fill out an Irrevocable Stock or Bond Power. To complete a gift of shares for which you hold a valid certificate, send the unendorsed certificate(s) to: Susquehanna University, Development Office, 514 University Ave., Selinsgrove, PA 17870, preferably via U.S. mail. Send the Irrevocable Stock or Bond Power Form in a separate envelope for security reasons. Please be sure to obtain a signature guarantee on the Irrevocable Stock or Bond Power form.
