Picture This

 

Thank you to all alumni who remembered Houghton in your prayers, through recruiting, and in giving during June 1, 2005 through May 31, 2006. Twenty-five percent of Houghton alumni included the college in their philanthropic giving. We acknowledge the support of those individuals, and those who wish to remain anonymous, by class year or cohort.  Underneath each class year is listed the percentage of the existing class that donated, as well as the total dollar contributions that were given to The Houghton Fund (HF), endowment (E), and capital projects (C).
