The Alumni Association marked the Class of 2024's final days as Winthrop students with our inaugural Senior Week! Monday, April 29 - Thursday, May 2, graduates attended a variety of events where we honored their accomplishments, commemorated their time at Winthrop, aided in their transition from student to alumnus and connected them to the Alumni Association.
See the full schedule of events below! Stay tuned for the 2025 schedule.
We were excited to launch the class gift campaign for the Class of 2024. Students
could give any amount, to any fund to be considered a student donor and gain access to our two student donor exclusive
events: the Paint n' Sip Brunch and Champagne Toast to the Class of 2024.
Although any gift amount qualified them as a donor, members of the Class of 2024 who donated $24 to commemorate their class year also received a donor medal to wear at Commencement and a T-shirt to wear at the 2.024 Grad Dash!
We are proud to share that 62 donors from the Class of 2024 raised $1,561 to support future generations of Eagles. Thank you to these graduates for your generous contribution!
Registration is required to attend all Senior Week events. Registration closed on Friday, April 19.
