What is the Simpson - Central Young Alumni Challenge?
The challenge is based on the percentage of each school's recent graduates that make a gift their annual fund.
How long will the challenge last?
The challenge is for the colleges' 2007-2008 fiscal year.
Simpson College: June 1, 2007 - May 31, 2008
Central College: July 1, 2007 - June 30, 2008
Which graduation years are included in the challenge?
Alumni from the classes of 1998-2007
Why focus on graduates of the past ten years?
Young alumni play an important role in the future of our colleges. This group typically has a lower rate of participation. As each school strives to increase overall alumni giving and participation, recent graduates can play an important role.
