Class Participation


Your participation is important.  Alumni who give each year to the Annual Mission & Vision Fund help increase our percent of alumni participation.  This is an important indicator to foundations and corporations when making grants to educational institutions.  The value of your UD degree is maintained through support from you and thousands of other alumni who contribute to the Annual Mission & Vision Fund.

One way of looking at participation in the Annual Mission & Vision Fund is by class year.  See the chart below to find out where your class is in the rankings.  If you want to raise your class participation, consider rallying your classmates together and be the top class in your decade next year!
