Senior Class Gift

Wildcat Spirit Cord

The gold Wildcat Spirit Cord is worn by our most generous graduating ’Cats at commencement. The gold symbolizes entering a new chapter and joining other graduates of the last decade, who have demonstrated their dedication to philanthropy and support for our University.

With a senior class gift of their class year, $20.24 or more through the Student Philanthropy Council, you’ll earn a Wildcat Spirit Cord to wear at graduation, a symbol of your pride, gratitude, and support for a place that’s made a difference in your life.


Why should I make a gift?

Graduating seniors who make a gift of your class year or more earn a Gold Wildcat Spirit Cord to wear at Commencement and will be invited to the Senior Gift Reception. Giving to Chico State is a great way to show your pride, gratitude, and support for a place that’s made a difference in your life.

Where do I make a gift?

You can make a gift of $20.24 through the Senior Class Giving Page to have it go to the Basic Needs, or the Regular Giving Form to select any campus club or program.
