Thank you so much to those who have so generously donated! The Class of 2015 will be the final graduating class of Chancellor Jones' tenure. Thank you for supporting the Class of 2015 and paying tribute to the honorable and dedicated Chancellor Jones.

Very special shout-outs go to:

• David and Shawn Brevard
• Shepard Smith
• Julie Henry
• Our dedicated Senior Class PARENTS

Of the 33 online donations, 18 of those donations were by SENIORS or in honor of SENIORS.  The Class of 2015 has 2,800 members so we still have plenty of recruiting to do to be recognized as the class with the highest participation rate for a senior class legacy gift.

Please share this update with your friends, family, and other Ole Miss Seniors (and their parents!) to help us reach our monetary goal and reach the highest senior class participation rate in Ole Miss history!

Matching Gifts:

Many companies offer matching gift programs to encourage employees to contribute to charitable organizations like Ole Miss. Most of these programs match contributions dollar for dollar and some will even double or triple the amount of your gift! A matching gift is a great way for you to increase the impact of your donation to Ole Miss.

To find out if your employer will match, double, or even triple your gift, go to our Employer Matching Gift Search Page. If your company is listed here, please contact your human resources department or supervisor to determine if the University of Mississippi is eligible to receive matching gift funds and for guidance in processing the matching gift form. Please contact us at ignite@olemiss.edu if we may be of any assistance.

Thanks again!

A big THANK YOU to all our donors! Thanks to your generosity we’ve raised $16,390!  We’re 81% to our goal of $20,000.  We’ve got 7 days left and only 3 days until commencement to raise the remaining $3,610.  Please help us reach our goal.

We’ve had 52 online donors so far and 26 of those have been SENIORS or were given in honor of a SENIOR.  Senior Class members – let’s get those participation numbers up!! We have 2,800 members of the Class of 2015 and we’d like to show Chancellor Jones and the Ole Miss community that we’ve learned the value of service and giving back to our community.

Our Legacy Gift Fund project is about SENIOR PARTICIPATION so we’re adding a new giving level of $5 – the “Coffee Club” to prove it’s not about the dollar amount! It’s all about SENIORS participating. Skip your morning cup of Starbucks and donate to the Class of 2015 Legacy Gift Fund instead – 5 bucks not Starbucks!

And SENIOR PARENTS – how about honoring your graduating SENIOR by giving to the Class of 2015 Legacy Gift Fund in your SENIOR’S name?  What a thoughtful gift for your grad!

Our Class of 2015 will be the final graduating class of Chancellor Jones' tenure. With your help we can announce to Chancellor Jones at Saturday’s commencement exercises that we’ve reached our goal in funding the Chancellor Dan Jones Service Before Self Scholarship.

Be sure your name or your SENIOR’S name is on the official roster of donors that will be presented to Chancellor Jones at the conclusion of our campaign.

Please share this update with your friends, family, and other Ole Miss Seniors (and their parents!) to help us reach our monetary goal and reach the highest senior class participation rate in Ole Miss history!

Please won’t you help us reach this goal and assist student leaders attend Ole Miss for years to come?
