Class of 1984 Reunion Campaign Report

See how you and your classmates made a difference with your 40th reunion campaign!

Class of 1984

The 2024 class reunion campaigns have wrapped up, and we’ve tallied the results!

397 members of the Class of 1984 gave gifts and pledges to support undergraduate education, financial aid, groundbreaking research, and so much more.

And, together, we set a new 40th Reunion Record raising an impressive $59,503,220 for our reunion campaign, including $2,191,184 for undergraduates through The Stanford Fund!

Those are impressive numbers, but what isn’t captured in this dollar amount is the true impact of your gifts. Your investments will create life-changing opportunities for students, fund groundbreaking research, and support the people and programs working across campus to address the world’s most pressing challenges.

We can’t thank you enough for your generosity and commitment. To all the committee members, volunteers, and alumni who gave from the heart—thank you.

Why I gave

For Stanford to be able to continue to offer a high quality educational experience, all alumni need to participate. Our support will pave the way for the next generation of leaders in the world. The significant impact a Stanford education (inside and outside the classroom) has on an individual is something I wish more people had the opportunity to experience.”

Michael J Bender, ’84

I have a deep appreciation and love for Stanford. The enduring friendships I made while at the university and subsequently through my Stanford involvement as an alum have been the most meaningful and consequential to me. For this, I am eternally grateful.”

Susan McCaw, ’84
