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:

• Funding our PAW subscription
• Subsidizing regional and class events
• Covering some of the cost of reunions
• Supporting the Alumni Council
• Producing the free copy of the 40th reunion DVD you received
• The new class website that came online in January

Last year approximately 33% of the class (255 out of 763 classmates) paid their dues.  This year, our goal is to dramatically improve the overall class participation.

What is the dues amount for the Class of 1971?

Pay by Mail

Click here to print a form, and pay by mail. The Class is charged a fee of up to 3% per transaction for the privilege of paying dues online with a credit card. To make your dues work even harder for our Class, please consider paying your dues by check and US Mail.

Pay Online

Paying online is extremely convenient, and you can do so by debit or credit card.   Of the two, the Class benefits if you pay by debit card rather than credit card because the transaction fee charged on debit cards is less than ½ that of credit cards. To use your debit card, simply enter the 16 digits on your ATM or Debit Card into the Card Number field on the online payment form that will appear after you hit Submit below and follow the indicated steps. The dollar amount of this transaction will appear directly in your checking account the same day.

Lastly, if you want to pay by credit card, simply enter your VISA or Mastercard number in the Card Number field on the online payment form (American Express is not accepted).

Save the Wildlife Fund

SWLF promotes Princeton with three annual Class events now etched over the past 20 years into 1971’s collective Class memory: The pre-P-Rade Class lunch at off-year Reunions; the Class off-year reception at Prospect House; and 1971’s Annual Class Meeting after the home Big 3 football game each Fall. Each of these events is free to all Classmates, their families and guests. Hundreds of Classmates and their families have convened at these events since SWLF began them, generating many new friendships among our Classmates and rekindling many old ones. As much as anything, these events have helped bind the Class together. Through these events, many of us first met and can now also call Princetonians from different generations "friends."
