GREAT
NEWS! Two Class of ‘70 Endowments Will Be Established! We are proud to announce that 85
class members supported and two opposed the proposal for
two Class of 1970 endowments. We will present this gift
to Gallaudet University during our mini-reunion in
October. The amounts assume we raise $70,000 by October
31. (1) The Mighty Class of 1970
Scholarship Fund ($45,000) The
lifeblood of Gallaudet University is its students. As we
approach our 50th anniversary celebration, we reflect on
the struggles many of us faced throughout our studies at
Gallaudet. Many of us faced financial difficulties, and
not all of us were able to continue. Our gift is
intended to support Gallaudet in the retention of
students—to give support to students who otherwise would
not be able to continue their studies. The criteria for
selection shall be undergraduate students in good
standing with financial need, either domestic or
international. (2) The Class of 1970 Jack R. Gannon
'59 Endowment for Alumni Relations ($25,000) For our 50th anniversary
celebration, we spotlight the role of the Office of
Alumni Relations, which was established in 1968 when we
were undergraduate students. Jack Gannon ’59, the first
director, imparted upon us the sense that Gallaudet
would always be our home, and many of us became proud
lifetime members of GUAA before we graduated. We believe
alumni are the backbone of the university and the Office
of Alumni Relations is the bridge that maintains our
bond with our alma mater. GUAA has a long and
significant history of unifying our alumni and
advocating for and raising funds for Gallaudet. With
this gift, we continue this tradition of giving back to
Gallaudet. Our gift is intended to support activities on
behalf of the alumni as determined by the Director of Alumni
Relations. The payout from the endowment shall not be
used in lieu of the budget allocation to the department
by the university.
We haven’t yet reached the $70K, mark, so contribute when and as much as you can: https://www.gallaudet.edu/office-of-development/giving-at-gallaudet/class-giving/class-of-1970
