Inside The Numbers

Decade to Decade Challenge

The foundation of Wabash College is deeply rooted in philanthropy and the torch passes from generation to generation of alumni over the decades. Our current student body has decided to give back $80,000 in student activity fees from this past year to Wabash, and with other class leaders, are joining together to issue a challenge and put their dollars on the line to inspire our #1-ranked alumni network to make gifts on 5.12. When alumni make a gift and select their class year, their gifts will count towards the goals of reaching the Decade-to-Decade Challenge.
