Annual Fund: Senior Legacy Fund
What is the Senior Legacy Drive?
The Senior Legacy Drive is a longstanding Ramapo tradition that is part of the Annual Fund Campaign. It unites the class and encourages graduating seniors to give back to the College that has given them so much over the past few years.
Gifts to the Senior Legacy Fund assist Ramapo in providing:
- Scholarships and financial assistance for deserving students
- Student research grants
- Resources for innovative academic programs and diverse co-curricular activities
Who can support the Senior Legacy Fund?
Graduating seniors and their families. Families may donate in their graduate's name to honor their student's hard work and achievements at Ramapo College.
Who is in charge of the Legacy Fund?
The 2011 effort is coordinated by the Senior Legacy Drive Committee. The Committee works in conjunction with Ramapo's Office of Annual Giving.

Was the 2010 Senior Legacy Fund Drive Successful?
The 2010 Senior Legacy Fund Drive was a record breaker, bringing over $11,500 to the Ramapo College Annual Fund. The committee worked with the Annual Giving Office to make senior events both fun for the senior class and rewarding for the Annual Fund.
The response from Ramapo families to the Senior Legacy Drive was heartwarming. A partial list of families and generous students that contributed was included in the 2010 Commencement Book distributed at the Commencement Exercises. Many dozens of families honored Ramapo College and their students; they made special donations to acknowledge their senior’s hard work and achievements.
We are very grateful for their generosity and we are very appreciative of the work of the 2010 Senior Legacy Committee.
