Senior Class Gift

Leave your legacy! A contribution to the Senior Gift is a way to celebrate your transition from student to alumni, and to open the door for the future Mavericks. Help us raise $2,100 by May 31, and the Class of 2021 will receive a legacy brick in front of Hudson Hall. If you make a gift of $21 or more in support of the Mav Friendly Market or the Student Emergency Fund, we’ll also send you your very first alumni t-shirt to thank you for giving back.

Make a gift online by visiting www.mercy.edu/seniorgift2021 or mailing a check payable to “Mercy College” to Office of Institutional Advancement, Mercy College, 555 Broadway, Dobbs Ferry, NY 10522

Wherever your journey takes you, the Office of Alumni Relations would like to celebrate your milestone. Be sure to visit www.mercy.edu/alumni to let us know what’s happening with you.
