Your Class of 2003 Reunion Campaign

FROM Your reunion campaign co-chairs

A message to the Class of 2003

Every five years, our class has the opportunity to reconnect, reflect on and celebrate our time at Stanford.  Some found our calling here, others found partners, and all of us made lifelong friends. We’ve signed on as co-chairs for our Class of 2003 reunion campaign, and are asking you to join the campaign committee alongside us.

The 20th Reunion Campaign focuses on two goals:

  • Creating fun and memorable opportunities for class connection.

  • Raising support to ensure current students have the same opportunities we had.

Throughout the year, this page will be updated to reflect giving opportunities, events and highlights from the campaign. We hope you’ll join us in coming together to celebrate and make an impact!

Warmly,

Melynda Barnes Oussayef, Jay Desai, Nidhi Gupta, Lindsay McGuire, Lily Sarafan, Roy Simkhay, and Sunaina Sinha

Give back during your reunion year

So much of our student experience was supported by alumni before us, and now it’s our chance to pay it forward.

Whether you give through The Stanford Fund or to another part of Stanford, you can choose to support an area that was important to your experience or that you are passionate about.

All gifts made through December 31, 2023, will count towards our class reunion campaign and help our class make a collective impact.

Our progress

On behalf of Stanford and the class giving team we gratefully acknowledge alumni who have made a gift or pledge to Stanford in honor of reunion.  These numbers reflect campaign commitments made between January 1, 2023 and August 31, 2023 (including some prior gifts made in honor of reunion). Our remaining honor roll deadline is December 31. Final results will be posted in February 2024.

Why I give

"I always felt privileged to be a part of the Stanford community, and I'd like to pay it forward so that future generations can have that same feeling of appreciation. Volunteering also lets me reconnect with so many wonderful people from our time on the Farm together."
