Class Goals
Class goals are set according to the guidelines below. A robust committee of Reunion Volunteers works alongside Vanderbilt staff coordinators to achieve these goals, the outcomes of which allow the class to stay connected with each other and the University, and continue strengthening Vanderbilt for generations to come.
Fundraising Goals are set by evaluating historical data on giving and participation for each class, as well as the performance of previous Reunion classes.
Attendance Goals are set by evaluating the number of alumni and guests who attended past Reunions, the average and maximum attendance for each Reunion class over the past ten years, and how many active classmates are in the class.
Volunteer Goals are set based on class size and the number of volunteers needed to contact 100% of the class. Reunion Chairs are included in the volunteer numbers. Note that "Active Alumni" refers to living alumni with a mailing address on file in our database.
