Reunion Giving
Reunion giving is a powerful way for alumni to give back collectively to Smith School of Business in recognition of a milestone graduation anniversary, thereby creating a meaningful class legacy. Without the generous support from alumni like you, many of our programs, scholarships, and upgrades would not be possible.
Current and future generations of students are the beneficiaries of class gifts, many of which continue to build over the years, thanks to your enduring collective commitment.

“Words cannot express how thankful I am for your generosity in contributing to my success. Because of your help, I'm able to have such an immersive experience that is unlike any other business school. Without you, there would be no possible way of attending Smith Commerce. Being a second-generation immigrant, my parents have been extremely proud of me for gaining admission to one of the most prestigious programs in the country; however, our financial situation was the main restriction that would've prevented me from accepting this opportunity. For that, I want to thank you for your commitment to my success and the future generation of business leaders.”

Each year, thousands of Queen's graduates return to campus to reunite and celebrate with classmates. Whether it is their 5th or their 50th reunion, many classes take this opportunity to pay tribute to Queen's by giving back with a reunion class gift.
Annual class gifts support much-needed student bursaries and scholarships, library acquisitions, leading-edge technology, and other academic programs and projects that enable Queen's to deliver a first-rate academic experience and an exceptional learning environment to a diverse group of future leaders.
The key to a successful class giving campaign is the support of a Class Giving Committee. The more people you have engaged in the fundraising process, the easier it will be to get the rest of your class involved as donors.
