Reunion Giving

Join your classmates and other alumni with a gift this year to help ensure that Shipley continues its tradition of educational excellence and today's students learn to define for themselves what it means to lead lives with Courage for the Deed; Grace for the Doing.
 
Alumni celebrating a reunion are encouraged to make a special gift to Shipley to commemorate their reunion milestone. At Alumni Weekend, the Shipley Alumni Association will present two giving awards: the Reunion Giving Award, awarded to the class with the highest amount contributed, and the Class of 1948 Margaret Bailey Speer Award, given to the class with the highest participation percentage in giving.
