Make a Gift
As we celebrate our reunion, we would like to remind you of the importance of alumni giving. Your gift is indispensable to the University’s future because traditional state funding allocations no longer adequately support the growth and development of public universities or the needs of our students. To make a gift, contact Kara Brennan ’92, director of annual giving, at 973-655- 7492 or brennanka@montclair.edu. For information on gift planning, please visit montclair.mylegacygift.org or contact Ely Santoni, senior director of gift planning, at 973-655-3695 or santonituere@montclair.edu.
