With donations just short of $10,000, the Class of 2007 donated three benches which line the walkway that runs through the center of campus. Thousands of students, professors and staff walk by these benches every day and often stop to sit and chat with friends and faculty. These benches keep the Class of 2007 tied to Lynn on a daily basis.

2006 Class Gift

The Class of 2006 donated a BBQ pit area outside Freiburger Residence Hall.
