What is the Senior Campaign?
The Senior Campaign is a student-driven program that educates seniors about Partners in Annual Giving, the St. Olaf annual fund and the importance of giving back to their alma mater. It asks all seniors to pledge a gift to Partners in Annual Giving to be paid June 1, 2010 - May 31, 2011.

ELOA Assessment
For every '10 classmate that completes the ELOA assessment, $10 will be added to the overall class gift. These gifts add to the total class gift, they won't count toward participation - so please make a pledge in addition to completing the assessment.
What is the kick-off event?
It's a seniors-only kick-off event for the Senior Campaign with President Anderson. Check out pictures from the Class of 2008 kick-Off event.
Why the free t-shirt and food? Doesn't the cost off-set my pledge?
In the short-term... yes. However, the t-shirts are used to create a buzz surrounding the campaign. They’re a great way to generate publicity and awareness. Not only will seniors recognize the t-shirts, but first-years, sophomores and juniors will ask questions and begin to understand what the senior campaign is all about. It’s our hope that years from now when you’re rich and famous you will still wear your shirt and will remember the importance of philanthropy and the importance of Partners in Annual Giving.
What is the history of the campaign?
The Senior Class Campaign program started in 1987 and has grown significantly over the years.
Your participation IS important
Gifts to Partners in Annual Giving are used to support the annual operating expenses of the college - financial aid, faculty salaries, books, computers and lab equipment etc.
The percentage of alumni who donate annually can be indicative of alumni satisfaction. Every gift increases our percentage, and helps to show the world that you loved your time on the Hill.
