Class of 2027 Senior Legacy Campaign

Congratulations, Class of 2027—senior year is here!
This is your moment to reflect on your journey and shape your legacy. 

The Senior Legacy Campaign is your class’s opportunity to give back to the people, places, and programs that shaped your time at Richmond. Whether it's a favorite professor, student org, support service, or team—your gift goes where your heart is.

It’s not about the amount—it’s about impact. Every gift of $5 or more counts, and every donor makes a difference. When students and young alumni give, university leadership takes notice. Your participation helps influence future priorities and strengthens the student experience for the classes that follow.

Make your gift. Celebrate your story. Leave your legacy.
