Young Presidential Associates Give Back

From the beginning, Young Presidential Associates learn that the habit of giving to LMU is more important than the amount.

LMU prides itself on instilling the value of generosity in its students, even after they have graduated and moved on in their lives. That's why LMU established the Young Presidential Associates-an organization made up of recent graduates of 10 years and students in their fourth year of studies to give back to LMU.

"When you're a student, college is all about you, which makes sense," said Rob Anderson '00, M.B.A. '04. "When I got involved in the senior class gift, I saw the other side of the university: all the people who make it all possible and who give to the school and make it what it is."

Although many graduates may not be able to contribute much at first, donations of any size are important and help establish the habit of giving.
