As we approach the end of the 2022/2023 fiscal year, let us remember where we were inspired and challenged to achieve beyond what we dreamed was possible. For many of us, it was Claflin University, where we were taught by professors who were renowned experts in their subjects. We also benefited from compassionate and insightful administrators whose exemplary leadership provided the foundation for what is now one of the nation's premiere liberal arts universities. They taught us how to think critically and prepared us for visionary leadership in our respective career and professions.

As a leal and loyal alumnus, our Alma Mater has helped transform each of us in significant ways. As a valued community or corporate supporter, your investment in Claflin has helped expand economic development and educational opportunities throughout South Carolina and other states in the region.

For this reason, it is important to remind you that we are in the final weeks of the 2022/2023 fiscal year. And, in the spirit of meaningful giving, which is customary during this time of year, we are hopeful that you will make a unrestricted financial gift to increase funding for student scholarships and other program enhancement initiatives.

Your continued generosity and support for Claflin University are greatly appreciated.
