Spring 2016 Graduates Give Back to VSU

VALDOSTA — Valdosta State University is proud to welcome more than 12 percent of its Class of Spring 2016 into the 1906 Society.

The 1906 Society is a student giving organization that is dedicated to the continued growth and development of VSU through individual gifts from graduating seniors and graduate students who want to protect and nurture their alma mater’s tradition of academic, creative, athletic, and service excellence on campus, in the community, and around the world. 它成立于2006年，这是牛津大学的百年校庆。

“The importance of alumni giving to the mission of VSU cannot be overstated,” said John Crawford, vice president for University Advancement and chief executive officer of the VSU Foundation Inc. “Each graduate of VSU has benefitted in some way because of the generosity of someone who came before them.”

1906协会的会员资格向任何想要帮助确保开拓者的后代获得他们在VSU期间享受的同样爱博体育和个人成长机会的毕业生开放。欢迎任何数额的捐款。不过，学校鼓励毕业生至少捐出19.06美元，以纪念学校的成立。

1906协会筹集的资金为即将到来的新生爱博体育提供奖学金支持。

克劳福德补充说：“1906年协会是在弗吉尼亚州立大学建立终身捐赠文化的好方法。”“Our goal is to help graduating students understand that every gift matters and that consistent annual giving is vitally important to VSU's success. 给1906协会的礼物是即将毕业的学生向弗吉尼亚州立大学赠送第一份礼物的一种特殊方式，学校认可他们的第一份礼物以及这份礼物的重要性，1906协会成员在毕业典礼上佩戴红黑相间的丝带。”
