Graduates of the Last Decade
Just as gold is a treasured mineral, new graduates – G.O.L.D. – are among our most treasured as well. The same support and guidance that you experienced as students are still available to you as alumni. Career help, campus events and other amenities are easily accessible at D&E. Let us know how we can help!
Why Alumni Giving Matters
Every gift to Davis & Elkins College helps strengthen the value of a D&E degree. Alumni participation is a key factor in national rankings, demonstrating the pride, engagement, and confidence our graduates have in their alma mater. A strong alumni giving rate enhances the College’s reputation among peer institutions and reinforces the quality of a D&E education for prospective students, employers, and the broader community.
Alumni support also plays an important role in securing grants and external funding. Many foundations and organizations consider alumni participation when evaluating proposals, making your gift an investment in new academic programs, student opportunities, scholarships, and campus improvements.
To honor those who help build the foundation of the College, Davis & Elkins recognizes donors through its Giving Societies. Graduates of the last decade can begin their philanthropic journey by joining these societies, including the prestigious 1904 Society, with annual gifts of $250. This provides a pathway to the $1,000 giving level following your 10-year reunion, while making an immediate impact on today’s students and the future of D&E.
