Since 1968 graduating seniors have left their mark on the IPFW campus in many ways including the Geogarden between Kettler and Neff Halls and the Class of 2000 Clock near Neff Hall. Today, you may choose to give a class gift by having your name and graduation date engraved on a brick which is placed in perpetuity in the Alumni Brick Walk. This program allows you as students to make a gift back to the University to celebrate your graduation and permanently be remembered as a Mastodon. Celebrate your experience at IPFW and commemorate your graduation by putting your name on the Alumni Brick Walk. The Brick Walk is located in the heart of campus between the Helmke Library and the Walb Student Union.
The Class Gift also benefits others by allowing your donation to perpetuate scholarships, keep class sizes smaller, advance technology in the classroom and labs, assist student services, create and upkeep an aesthetically pleasing campus and to help provide the ability for others to earn a Purdue or Indiana University degree.
Some Reasons to Support the Class Gift:
- Buy a brick. It's the right thing to do!
- Your tuition and fees cover only a portion of what it took to get your education at IPFW. IPFW is state assisted, not fully state supported so we need assistance from our alumni. Let's return the favor and invest in today's students.
- By forgoing a few meals out, you can use that money to make a real difference in the future of IPFW. A gift, no matter what the size, helps to make your class gift a success.
- You will be entitled to make your gift in honor of the person who has been a positive influence and made a difference in your life at IPFW.
- As you are getting ready to become young alumni, a Class Gift will benefit you and IPFW. IPFW's reputation as a combined campus of two Big Ten schools will be expressed and increase the value of your degree because alumni participation will enable us to achieve a higher national ranking in U.S. News and World Report which can attract more corporate/foundation gifts.
- Your gift can help prepare students for today's competitive job market by providing them with student travel to conferences relevant to their major and scholarships.
- A gift from you helps with numerous University programs supported by the Annual Fund and enhances the overall campus experience.
- Your class will be setting a new standard for future graduating classes, guaranteeing continued success for the Annual Fund for years to come.
- This year your graduating class can set a record in young alumni giving, if every graduate buys a brick!
- You will be recognized in the Donor Honor Roll.
