Class of 2020: there is no place like Barnard and no time like now to pay it forward by donating to the Senior Fund! With your help and enthusiasm, the senior class can make an impact through a gift that provides valuable support to the Barnard community. Gifts can be of any size, even a dollar, and if 100% of Athena Scholars donate, the Athena Center will make a gift of $2,020 to the senior fund!
