Class of 2023… Can we Count You In?

Each year, our graduating class participates in a proud Class Gift tradition where members of the class invest in the University by supporting areas of Montclair State that are most important to them. We invite the Class of 2023 to come together to show your support. 

Why should I give?

Your gift will pay it forward for future Red Hawks and kick-start your philanthropic connection to Montclair State.

All gifts to Montclair count!  Make your gift to any area of campus you feel most passionate about - such as the Emergency Book Fund, The Red Hawk Pantry, your school or college, The Fund for Montclair State or athletic program. Let’s join together to be counted in our class gift drive- #CountMeInMontclair

Gift Amounts:

For a gift of $20.23 - Alumni Medallion

• Commemorate your class year! Make a gift of at least $20.23 and you’ll receive your Montclair Alumni Medallion to wear over your commencement robe and the proud supporter button.

For a gift of $40 - Commencement Message

• For a gift of $40, celebrate this milestone with your family, friends and colleagues by having your message displayed on the screen at the Commencement ceremony on May 23, 2023, at the Prudential Center. You will also receive the alumni medallion.

Every student at Montclair State has benefitted from donor generosity to areas of academic support, emergency funding for students and overall priorities to boost students’ success every day. Thank you for paying it forward!
