Senior Legacy

What is Senior Legacy?

Founded with the Class of 2000, Senior Legacy is a program run by seniors for seniors, celebrating the experiences and accomplishments you have had as students, and working together to leave a permanent legacy to benefit current and future students. In 2003, NYU's senior class expanded upon this existing tradition - senior class giving. This was the first time in NYU's history that all of the Schools joined together to ask seniors to establish a University-wide senior undergraduate legacy.

At NYU Steinhardt, the Senior Legacy Project is a collaborative initiative that involves alumni relations with the senior legacy committee, a group of undergraduate seniors, to plan workshops, receptions and other programs to enhance the senior year, while encouraging direct interaction between alumni and undergraduate seniors. It is also an opportunity for seniors to invest in the future of NYU by contributing just $5, which will go towards a class gift to be given to the school for the benefit of future students.

Your Legacy at Work!

By participating in Senior Legacy programs and by contributing to the Senior Legacy class gift, student can build a class spirit and set an example for alumni and younger classes. Your legacy will serve as a prominent force propelling NYU now and in the future. And to support your efforts, President John Sexton has instituted the President's Challenge by matching the total amount raised. While the initial gift will help the Steinhardt School, the president's funds will allow the NYU senior class to realize a university-wide initiative of your choosing. For more information on the NYU 2008 Senior Legacy/President's Challenge, visit the web site: http://alumni.nyu.edu/legacy/.

Become involved today!

If you are interested in accepting this challenge and joining the committee, please contact Doris Alcivar at da339@nyu.edu. Once we hear from you, the Senior Legacy Advisors will be in touch with you on next steps.
