About the Senior Class Gift

Each year, graduating seniors from Trinity and Pratt come together to build their class legacy of
supporting Duke by giving back to the university as part of the Senior Class Gift. Since 2000, over 17,000
students in their final year at Duke have given over $515,000 to the people, places, and things that
mattered to them during their time on campus.

The Senior Class Gift committee is hosting the following events to bring the Class of 2025
