Senior class raises $56,500 gift for UD

4:39 p.m., May 27, 2006--At the University of Delaware's 157th Commencement May 27, representatives of the senior class announced that they have collected $56,500 to add several clocks to the campus.

The Class of 2006 exceeded its original goal of $35,000 by 61 percent. To date, the senior class has received commitments from more than 1,620 students, parents and friends.

“This is, by far, the most money raised by a graduating glass,” UD President David P. Roselle announced, noting that the senior class gift has become a tradition as a way to raise awareness of the importance of giving back to the University and in providing an opportunity for each class to leave behind a legacy. The previous record gift had been $47,000, from the Class of 2005.

Kyle Somers, chairperson of the senior class gift committee, presented Roselle with the gift on behalf of the Class of 2006.
