Northwestern University Alumni Donor Recognition Wall

This interactive digital donor wall celebrates the Northwestern University Senior Class Gift, recognizing and honoring the generosity of graduating seniors through a modern, engaging experience. The installation combines dimensional signage with a touchscreen digital donor wall, creating a highly visible and accessible point of recognition within the campus environment.

The digital screen allows visitors to explore past donor lists by year through an intuitive touchscreen interface. With a simple tap, users can navigate between class years to view donor names, reinforcing a sense of legacy and continued philanthropy across generations of students. This interactive approach transforms donor recognition from a static display into a living archive of student support.

Custom-designed panels frame the display, integrating Northwestern’s branding and messaging while complementing the architectural surroundings. The layered construction adds depth and presence, ensuring the donor wall stands out while remaining cohesive with the space.

Powered by Arreya Digital Sign Software, the content is remotely updateable, allowing university staff to easily add new graduating classes, update donor information, and refresh messaging without the need for reprinting or physical modifications. This flexibility ensures the Senior Class Gift recognition remains current, accurate, and sustainable year after year.

By pairing digital storytelling with thoughtful physical design, this donor wall not only honors past contributions but also inspires future giving—highlighting the ongoing impact of student generosity at Northwestern University.
