Gift Societies

Leadership donors to the College may honor a family member, professor, or special friend by naming a Current Year Scholarship, an Undergraduate Student Research Scholarship, or one of a limited number of benches on the Academic Quad. Friends who designate a leadership gift to either program will share in the immediate as well as the long-term benefits of their generosity to the College.
