96ers

About the UREC 96ers

In 2015, a group of passionate UREC alumni and current staff began fundraising with a goal of creating a $50,000 UREC Student Employee Scholarship endowment. The goal was to help relieve some financial burden for student employees, so that they can continue the tradition of excellence and Motivate Madison into Motion.

Over 120 dedicated UREC employee alumni and friends joined the cause and pledged their support to continuously donate to the fund. We call this group our wonderful "96ers." (UREC was built in 1996.) At UREC's 20th Anniversary in October 2016, over 40 96ers and their families came back to Harrisonburg to present a pledge to JMU. In addition to the 96ers, gifts have been made by over 100 additional donors. In April 2018, the fund hit $50,000 and in October 2021 the fund surpassed $100,000!

We hope alumni continue supporting the fund so that we can make the biggest impact for future student employees. We thank our donors for their generosity and leaving a legacy that will continue long into the future.
