Why Pay Your Dues?


The main reason to pay your dues is to acknowledge the major influence that the Class and the University have had on our personal and professional lives. On a practical level, our dues help to cover class expenses such as:

  • Cover some of the cost of Reunions, especially off-year Reunions and some other Class gatherings
  • Ongoing costs of the Class website, mailings, etc.
  • License a Zoom account to be used by groups within our Class to stay in touch
  • Fulfill Class obligations related to supporting the Alumni Council


What is the dues amount for the Class of 1971?

 

The standard dues payment is $71 per classmate. 

 

Many classmates have generously contributed more than this amount. Please feel free to do so going forward. Conversely, for those who find it difficult to make this contribution, we would love to have you contribute any amount that you can. We are most interested in maximum participation.

 

Given the welcome reduction in Class annual expenses, however, the total expected annual costs of the all-Classmate benefits of the homecoming and off-year reunion events are expected to exceed the 20% University cap on such “miscellaneous expenses.” To continue to host such popular Class gatherings at Class expense, the Executive Committee, following University guidance, determined that annual dues donations should no longer be considered tax-deductible. If you have any question, however, please consult your tax advisor.

 

The University advises that, because expenses of the Classa are primarily for Reunions and similar activities, dues are not tax deductible. If you have any question in this regard, however, please consult your tax advisor.
