The goal for seniors and graduate students is both engagement and to \u201cpay it forward\u201d for the next generation of UCCS students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Members of the Class of 2021 are encouraged to designate gifts to Clyde\u2019s Cupboard Food Pantry or M.O.S.A.I.C., the Multicultural Office for Student Access, Inclusiveness &amp; Community, although gifts to any fund are accepted. So far, nearly 175 summer and fall 2021 graduates have contributed to the gift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Graduates who give at least $25 receive a blue cord as a memento to wear during Commencement. The fall 2021 Commencement ceremonies will take place on Friday, Dec. 17 at the Broadmoor World Arena. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The fall graduates also included a number of legacy students who are descendants of UCCS graduates and who traditionally wear black and gold cords.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Class of 2021 is invited to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/crowdfunding.uccs.edu\/?cfpage=\/o\/university-of-colorado-colorado-springs-54\/i\/crowdfunding\/s\/class-of-2021-gift-augdec\" target=\"_blank\">donate t<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/crowdfunding.uccs.edu\/?cfpage=\/o\/university-of-colorado-colorado-springs-54\/i\/crowdfunding\/s\/class-of-2021-gift-augdec\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">o<\/a><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/crowdfunding.uccs.edu\/?cfpage=\/o\/university-of-colorado-colorado-springs-54\/i\/crowdfunding\/s\/class-of-2021-gift-augdec\" target=\"_blank\"> the\u00a0Clyde\u2019s Crowd\u00a0platform<\/a> through the month of December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>With student services and scholarships in mind, members of the fall UCCS Class of 2021 have donated more than $5,000 to the annual class gift so far.  <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/?p=136676\" title=\"Class of 2021 donates over $5,000 for scholarship funds\">(More)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":129053,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1,49],"tags":[370,107,42,332,63,60],"class_list":["post-136676","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-all","category-campus-announcements","tag-alumni","tag-alumni-relations","tag-commencement","tag-more-news","tag-student-life","tag-student-success"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/crowdfunding-graphic.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1mBpJ-zys","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136676","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/27"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=136676"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136676\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":136704,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136676\/revisions\/136704"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/129053"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=136676"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=136676"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=136676"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
