August 2024  

Dear <Preferred First Name>,  

As autumn arrives, we reflect on Kalamazoo College’s path in a rapidly evolving world—and where our enduring legacy is present in it. Our alma mater cultivates the critical thinking and perspectives essential for navigating our global landscape, but it is through your support that K can continue to move forward.   

By cultivating critical inquiry, intellectual curiosity and a deep appreciation for diverse experiences, K students are met with varying perspectives and their own lived experiences. In recognizing this, K seeks to equip its students with the skills to navigate the complexities of our interconnected world with wisdom and compassion.

    As the College enters a new academic year and approaches the conclusion of the Brighter Light Campaign, your support is vital to sustaining K’s mission. I invite you to reflect on the profound impact K has had on your life and the lives of countless others.  

    No matter the size, your gift cultivates well-rounded graduates tackling global challenges in their time at K and beyond. Together, we can ensure that K continues to light the way. Thank you for your consideration.

    Sincerely,  

    Signature(s) 

    <Class Agent Name(s)> 

    <Year Class Agent(s)>
