WELCOME TO THE ALUMNI OF 1958'
Mr. H. Milton Keen - Class Agent
Class of 1958 -- 50th Anniversary Year[1]
August 15, 2007
Dear Classmates:
In less than a year, it will be time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of our graduation from Wagner. Our time to celebrate will be during the alumni reunion weekend – June 6 - 8, 2008.
As the 50 Year Class, we will be recognized and honored at a luncheon on Saturday, June 7. The activities for reunion weekends are outstanding and enjoyed by all. If you haven’t already done it, put the dates on your calendar today.
We were the last and now we can be the first!
We were the last class to graduate from Wagner Memorial Lutheran College before the name was changed to Wagner College. We can now be the first class to give an endowed scholarship as our Class Gift.
An endowed scholarship is established with contributions of $100,000 or more. Approximately 5.5% of the balance, representing the investment income, is then used each year to provide a scholarship to a student selected by the college. In this way, the principal is maintained and the annual scholarship can be paid many years into the future.
What did your experience at Wagner add to your life since you graduated? An endowed scholarship will help future students receive the education that Wagner offers and prepare them for life after college.
$100,000 may sound like a large amount for our class to raise; however, two of our classmates have already committed to contributing $35,000. This means that we would only need an average contribution of about $450 from each of the other members of our class to reach the $100,000 goal.
We urge you to give what you can toward this class gift. Contributions should be made payable to Wagner College and noted that they are for the “Class of ’58 Scholarship Fund.” They should be sent to the Office of Institutional Advancement, One Campus Road, Staten Island, NY 10301. Please contact Frank Young in the Wagner Office of Institutional Advancement at 718-420-4494 or frank.young@wagner.edu.
Let’s make our class gift one that will be meaningful to Wagner College and its students for years to come!
Sincerely,
Your Reunion Committee
