The dedication of a Senior Class Gift has been a long-standing tradition for the graduating classes of Christendom College. Over the years, many classes have made great contributions to the beautification and improvements to campus that have gone unrecorded. Through the office of Student Activities, we are hoping to compile a complete list of class gifts to honor the hard work of each graduating class and to inspire future classes in their efforts to leave campus even more beautiful than they found it.
There is an incomplete list of class gifts below. If you know who the Class President for your Class was or if you remember what the class gift from your class was, please email Marilyn Charba at marilyn.charba@christendom.edu
As of June 15th, 2021, this is what information we have:
