January 25, 2001 Dear Seniors, The Class of 2001 is about to make history. We are about to do something no other class has ever come close to doing. Not only do we want the Class of 2001 begin a tradition of pledging and donating to the university in years to come but to also graduate in 2001 having already contributed to the JMU learning and living community. Our class has promised to fund some of the best projects the Challenge has ever been committed to: a library reading room and a class mural. The current law library housed in the Carrier Library will be vacated in May when current collections will be relocated to the Massanutten Regional Library. The room will be renovated into a much needed study area. In addition, a 2001 mural will be created by senior class members and will be displayed in the Warren Campus Center We believe these projects will embody the true JMU spirit of joining together and achieving great things. The excitement for this year's Senior Class Challenge is contagious! We want to continue the tradition previous classes have set before us. Unfortunately, there is one tradition we do not want to repeat- many class challenges go unmet. Actual class involvement and actual payment of pledges after graduation doesn't always happen. Each year classes challenge each other to raise an enormous amount of money and almost every year they fall short. On average, only about 15% of the class is involved. In addition, many alums don't fulfill their pledges. Therefore, good projects such as the James Madison statue seed fund, the 1-81 flower garden, the library reference area and many others are never funded! This year we want to change the challenge. This year, our goal is to increase class participation as well as increasing the actual dollars raised versus dollars pledged. In doing so, we hope to create a successful class giving campaign and promote the importance of individual giving. We want you to be a part of this historic moment. We are looking for volunteers to lead teams as well as be team members. Check out our web page at http//www |mu edu/semorchallenqe/ for more information or write us at [email protected]. This will be one for the record books. We hope that you are a part of it.
Sincerely,
