Why Participate?
The Alumni Participation Rate (APR) is widely used to measure the value alumni place on their education. Employers, graduate school admissions officers, prospective students and grant-making foundations look to alumni giving rates as evidence of student satisfaction and an indication of the prestige of a college.
When you make your gift, it is your way to express that your Beloit experience was meaningful. The more alumni who support Beloit, the more valuable a Beloit degree becomes.
Every gift—regardless of size—shows support for the great education Beloit provides!
