Hampton Alumni 10 Year Reunion QT2
|
Posted By: Will Moss on February 28, 2005 Hello Fellow Quintessence II Classmates: HAPPY NEW YEAR! Can you believe that 2005 is already here? We would like to wish you all a blessed and prosperous New Year! Since our last correspondence, the Reunion Planning Committee has been hard at work planning an exciting weekend for everyone. As noted in our first letter, the Official University sponsored Reunion Weekend is May 6-8, 2005. We know a lot of talk has been going on about Homecoming 2005 being our reunion weekend, but the official weekend, is May 6-8, 2005. If possible, we would love to see you come out and support both events. In our initial letter, we stated that $100 would be requested from class members for class dues. Since then, we have finalized all activities and have determined that $150 in class dues will be required to help defray the costs associated with all university and class sponsored reunion weekend activities. Our class dues amount includes an individual contribution toward a Class of 1995 donation to Hampton University and the balance will be applied toward the following: * QT2 “Meet ‘n Greet” in Downtown Hampton * Hampton University Reunion Banquet * Hampton University Reunion Picnic * A “Quintessential Affair” Evening Event * QT2 Sunday brunch * QT2 Class donation to Hampton University *If you would like to have your donation to the University applied to a specific scholarship or fund, please designate along with your payment. Alumni Giving We all remember the days of Hampton University having one of the largest endowments amongst HBCUs. The truth is, very few of us actually understood what that meant. We bragged and boasted about attending one of the country’s richest institutions but, times are changing. Although Hampton may not be experiencing some of the financial hardships that other HBCUs are experiencing, support from our alumni family is not as strong as it once was. The strength of the alumni donor base affects other potential sources of funding and corporate contributions in many ways. When the University solicits funds from potential donors, the donors inquire about the percentage of the alumni that are contributing. Donors expect to see the alumni represent at least 10% of the total donor base before they are comfortable with contributing. Sadly, less than 10% of our current donor base is from Hampton University’s alumni. Our class target for our 10-Year Reunion is set at $20,000. We realize that this is an ambitious goal but we ask you to make a contribution toward it, however big or small. If you have already made a contribution to the University for the 2005 fiscal year, that amount will also be counted towards the total amount of our class contribution for this year. Every donation counts, no matter the size! The number of alumni who contribute is what truly matters. So please give as you are able to give so that another young person might have the same opportunity that we had to experience our wonderful “Home by the Sea”. Our contributions will help to fund scholarships, endowments, and will help the University remain competitive with majority institutions by staying abreast of emerging technologies, research and changing academic standards.
