Wildcat Sendoff

What is the Wildcat Sendoff?
The Wildcat Send Off is a 100-day countdown to graduation offering graduating students a variety of events designed to ease their fears as they begin their post-grad transition. It's also a time to celebrate all of their accomplishments one last time before gathering together at graduation.

For a complete schedule of events and list of helpful resources, visit unh.edu/main/wildcat-sendoff!

Seniors: Support the Class Gift!

What is the Senior Class Gift?
The Senior Class Gift is an opportunity to give back to the university that has given so much to you. Making a gift of any amount demonstrates to current students, future students and alumni that you believe in UNH.

Where can donations be designated to?
It's your choice! We encourage you to make a donation to the program that meant the most to you during your time here – a scholarship fund, research, study abroad, athletics and so many more. By making a donation to the Senior Class Gift you are providing support to an area that meant the most to you and leaving your legacy as a UNH graduate of 2020.

Why should I give to the Senior Class Gift?
Give your gift to the university today to ensure that all students that come to UNH after you are given the same experiences and opportunities that you had! Don't forget – once a Wildcat always a Wildcat!

Contact the Annual Giving office at annual.giving@unh.edu with questions.
