Welcome Freshmen Class! So you just arrived on campus, you are probably just putting the final touches on your room, getting to know your roommate(s), and trying to figure out the lay of land here on campus.  This year will be filled with exciting new opportunities inside the classroom, as well as out.
 
Have you heard of the phrase “pay it forward”? Well, now you have!! That is exactly the idea behind the Freshman Class Gift and Red Piggy Bank Campaign.  Many Manhattanville students are able to receive their education because of financial aid and scholarships. That money does not just materialize out of thin air as many may like to believe. The money awarded through financial aid and scholarships is actually donated by many of Manhattanville’s generous alumni.  They too were able to attend Manhattanville because of donations from alumni and they paid it forward. Make sense?

So now we are challenging you to use your Red Piggy Banks and save up your loose change throughout the year! There will be various events this year where you will be asked to bring your piggy bank filled with change for counting. All funds raised will go towards an initiative of the Freshman Class Gift committees choosing!
