Senior Challenge is a celebration of your time at Transylvania University. In four years, you have no doubt forged lifelong friendships, received invaluable mentorship, immersed yourself in academia, and built the foundation of who you will be for the rest of your life. However, your Transylvania journey does not end at Commencement \u2013 being a Pioneer is a lifelong commitment.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the \u201890s, Senior Challenge has brought the graduating class together through social events while fundraising for a special class gift. Stay tuned for special events for the Class of 2027!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we join together as a class to support the Pioneers who come after us, we\u2019re helping secure Transy\u2019s future. Not only do our dollars add up, but our participation positively influences grant-awarding foundations and large donors. Many of those funders consider student and alumni giving rates when determining grant funding, so our support, at any level, goes a long way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Individual Donor Perks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to recognize and thank the seniors who make that next step in becoming lifelong Pioneers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participant Level:<\/mark><\/strong> Give $20.27+, and you get to choose between a silver honor cord, a years-long tradition<\/em>, or a lapel pin bearing the historic University seal. Either item may be worn at graduation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
