Gunn Community Thank Yous
A lot has changed at Gunn over the years, but the one thing that has remained the same is the faculty’s dedication to helping students become the best versions of themselves. This year, to show their gratitude, alumni, parents, and friends are making gifts to The 1850 Fund as “thank yous” in celebration of the special Gunn community members who made a profound impact on their Gunn experience.
