Emerging Leaders
Young alumni are invited to become an inaugural member of the Campanile Society’s Emerging Leaders. If you graduated in the last decade, you can invest $100 for each year after graduation, and become an Emerging Leader in the Campanile Society. For example, if you graduated in 2006, your contribution would be $100. If you graduated in 1997, your contribution would be $1,000.
“UNI was very generous to me as a student, both in terms of the educational and financial support I received. It is difficult to articulate how grateful I am for my experience at UNI. I hope that by continuing to donate to the university I can help provide a quality education to its students. I’m celebrating my successes by joining the UNI Campanile Society as an Emerging Leader.” Kaitlin Stimpson ’06
