Reunion Giving

Reunion giving empowers our passionate and engaged Golden Bull Alumni to reconnect with classmates to reminisce about their time at JCSU, but more importantly, to create lasting impact for current and future generations.

Giving is a rewarding component of JCSU’s Annual Reunion Weekend celebration. Each year, the University welcomes back alumni celebrating their 5th Reunion to their 50th for a fun and exciting weekend.

Our Alumni are true champions of the JCSU legacy. Reunion campaigns led by our alumni chapters across the country showcase the power of collective giving and contribute a significant portion of the University’s annual fundraising support.
