Each year, it has become a meaningful tradition for the graduating class to present a special gift to Olivet University — a token of their appreciation, and a way to leave behind a lasting legacy.
This year, the Class of 2025 has chosen a gift that is both deeply symbolic and beautifully fitting: an Olive tree.
Several volunteers from the graduating class helped plant the young tree on the Riverside campus, and it now stands as a symbol of faith and the growth journey of this graduating class. Like the tree, Olivet University students have been planted, rooted, and nurtured here, and they are now ready to bear fruit in the world beyond.
We are deeply grateful to the Class of 2025. Your gift will bless the campus for years to come.
