Class of 2012 Floors With their Generosity
In the last few years several alumni have strengthened their bond with ISB by generously donating to the School through endowments, scholarships and the Class Gift, which is a collective gift given to the School by the graduating class.
The current PGP students from the Class of 2012 are no different. Breaking all previous records, this class is set to contribute the largest amount toward the Class Gift ever since the tradition began in 2008. In the initial years, the average level of contribution toward the gift was 45% or approx. Rs 7,000 per student but this year it is at 60% or approx. Rs 13, 000 per student! So far, this year the class has received commitment of Rs44 lakhs from 340 class members with more class members expected to contribute in the last term.
The Class of 2012 Class Gift will be utilised towards wooden flooring of the badminton court in our Recreation Centre, a facility that is used extensively by the ISB community. Each year, the current class and the School identify a priority area and collectively raise funds for the same. This has resulted in several new facilities being added to the campus: Class of 2008 contributed towards building a “Co2008 Student Lounge” at Student Village 3 (SV3), Class of 2009 contributed towards building a “Co2009 Amphitheatre” at Student Village1 (SV1), and Classes of 2010 and 2011 have contributed towards the Alumni Endowment Fund that is used toward a “Diversity Scholarship.”
The School values these contributions immensely and is extremely thankful to students to have been giving back even before they leave the school.
