50 years and counting: Celebrating the Class of 1975鈥檚 Reunion success
As we look back on last year鈥檚 festivities, we are thrilled to celebrate the Class of 1975 for a historic 50th Reunion. Their collective legacy was cemented through shared memories and a commitment to 乐播传媒鈥� future. The Class of 1975 contributed a total of $4,339,162 to their 50th Reunion gift and leveraged the first-ever Phillips Society Legacy Challenge to help achieve these results. The Challenge inspired 10 new members from the class to join the Phillips Society!
The class also honored the late John Hester 鈥�75 with the 50th Reunion Philanthropic Leadership Award for his beneficiary designation that came to 乐播传媒 in 2024, adding $3.2 million to 乐播传媒鈥� unrestricted endowment, a cornerstone of the college鈥檚 yearly operations budget.
