Whether we are aware of it or not, our time at Fletcher has been greatly impacted by The Fletcher Fund. Support from the alumni who came before us enabled financial aid packages to be awarded; faculty research to be funded; improvements to be made to Ginn Library and other areas of Cabot; and so much more. Every gift made to the annual fund is put to immediate use to maintain – and improve upon – the incomparable Fletcher experience.
I gave to support preserving the Fletcher I love for future classes. Looking across peer schools, Fletcher offers a unique experience which hasn’t sold out to mega-class sizes and big names with no interest in teaching and mentorship. I am a smarter, more critically thinking and engaged person than when I entered... it’s worth giving up the equivalent of a couple coffees to support our legacy. – Jamilah Welch, F12
I'm supporting the Class Gift to pay forward the benefits I've received as a student at Fletcher, and to become part of the strong Fletcher tradition of giving back. – Jeff Eisenbraun, F12
For two years, we immerse ourselves in the Fletcher community. As we leave, professionally and personally enriched, I think it's important to reflect what the institution has done for us. Supporting our Class Gift is just one small way to show our appreciation for Fletcher, to serve as a thank you for its role in making us who we are as we graduate. – Meghan Mahoney, F12
One of Fletcher's finest attributes is its remarkable student body. I know it sounds trite, but it's true. I'm constantly impressed by my classmates. They are incredibly talented, interesting, fun, and unpretentious. As graduation looms, I suggest you take a moment to reflect upon the friendships you've made here and be swayed by emotion to coalesce around this class gift. Contributing even a small amount is something I believe each of us can do. - Alex Leipziger, F12
