Senior Challenge is a student-led campaign to emphasize the importance of giving back to Marquette University.  It is an opportunity for the graduating class to take ownership of their new alumni status by making a modest financial contribution to support key university priorities, such as scholarship support, attracting and retaining outstanding faculty, and supporting outstanding student-athletes. 2008 marks the 21st anniversary of Senior Challenge and the Senior Challenge Committee is committed to make 2008 the best campaign ever! Take the challenge and make a gift of $20.08 to Marquette today!

Challenge 1 – Participation

The goal of Senior Challenge is not the amount of money raised, but rather, it is to raise awareness as to the importance of giving by educating students in hopes of greater participation. This year the Senior Challenge Committee is asking every senior to participate with a gift of $20.08 to commemorate your graduation year. It is up to you as to where you would like your gift to go. We urge you to direct your $20.08 to the area about which you feel most passionate. Please see the section below that details designation possibilities.

Challenge 2 – MUAA National Board Match

The Marquette University Alumni Association National Board has accepted a challenge from the Senior Challenge Committee to match the participation of this year’s senior class. The National Board has pledged to donate a generous sum of up to $30,000 on behalf of the Class of 2008. The amount of support from the National Board depends on us!

Below is a breakdown of the National Board’s pledge giving levels based on senior class participation:
