JCSU Class Agents 1933-2007
Purpose
The Class Agent Program is an alumni-driven program
designed to identify alumni leaders within each class and to
utilize them as vehicles by which to increase class
participation and class giving on an annual basis in support
of Johnson C. Smith University.
Through this program, it is expected that class agents
routinely correspond with their classmates and establish
meaningful relationships in an effort to reconnect and to
solicit financial support among alumni and friends of the
University.
Click on any of the following links for more information:
The Office of Alumni Affairs (OAA) is actively seeking
alumni to serve as the Class Agent for those classes without
a designated Agent. If you are interested or know of a
suitable candidate, please contact the OAA as soon as
possible at (704) 378-1026.

The Role of a Class Agent:
-
Establish relationships with
classmates and develop meaningful class identities.
-
Enlist the support of your
classmates in exceeding the fundraising goals and
objectives of the University.
-
Assist the University with
increasing the total amount and percentage of alumni
giving on an annual basis.
-
Consider yourselves as ambassadors
of the University spreading the word.
-
Work with Institutional
Advancement to identify classmates as prospects for
Major Gifts and consider being part of the process.
-
Work with the University to
reinforce the new paradigm of alumni giving (i.e.
shifting the focus from five year reunion giving to
annual giving).
-
Report any updated information
pertaining to your classmates to the Office of Alumni
Affairs (OAA).
Back to top
Key points
-
The Class Agent Program focuses
not only on classes in reunion but on each and every
class. The OAA and Development have devised a more
effective strategy that would combine face-to-face
visits, phone calls and letter writing. We need to move
away from a culture of solely writing letters and move
to a combined effort.
-
The OAA and Development will work
with class agents to develop a personalized strategy
that includes a time frame, correspondence, assignments
and financial goal(s); each reunion class should do
their own campaign with a stated goal(s).
-
Development will "adopt a class"
that has been assigned by the OAA as we all work
together with the class agents to achieve financial
goal(s).
-
Each reunion/non-reunion class
representative will present his or her total class
contributions to the President during the Annual Alumni
Banquet that is held during Reunion Weekend.
-
All contributions including class
gifts should be made payable to Johnson C. Smith
University during the fiscal year July 1 - June 30.

Tips for Success
-
Personalize your appeal and use
your creativity. Emphasize that all gifts matter,
regardless of size. In order to continually increase the
total amount and percentage of alumni giving on an
annual basis, support is needed by all alumni.
-
Be clear as to why you are
contacting your classmates. Be careful not to make "an
ask" that would include the purchase of items (i.e.
paraphernalia, trinkets, etc.), as this can be
confusing.
-
Our goal is to move toward
personal solicitation. We must not rely solely on letter
writing. A phone call or a face-to-face visit is much
more effective. Something to consider: Are you more apt
to give to a letter or a person?
-
Upon drafting your letter, you
should forward it directly to the OAA via email or mail
for review of content and mailing.
This
is due to the postal increases.
Please keep in mind that letter
writing is a very expensive venture. Class Agents should
limit their Letter Writing to two per fiscal year (Fall
and Spring). Remember the OAA will also send written
correspondence to your classmates within the same
timeframe.
