GOLD
The GOLD (Graduates Of the Last Decade) classes are a powerful segment of alumnae in the Bryn Mawr College community. GOLD alumnae comprise nearly 22% of the entire alumnae population which means you have a critical role in securing the future of Bryn Mawr. In a difficult year, over 900 GOLD alumnae made a gift to the College to support women's education, over 150 of these alumnae were first time donors.
With a giving participation rate of 28%, Bryn Mawr now leads all Seven Sisters schools in young alumnae giving. In just a year's time recent graduates have made great strides but the work is not over. We hope you will join us again this year with a gift to the College which supports student internships, scholarships, faculty enhancement and the overall strength of the College. Your gift makes the difference.
