Meet the Dean’s Circle

Ask any of the numerous donors to the College why they give, and their reasons might vary from helping support future students to attracting the best and brightest faculty members and everything in between. As the College continues to grow and captivate young students from around the world, the members of the Dean’s Circle are helping to ensure that the College maintains a competitive edge and creates an outstanding educational experience for students and faculty members. The Dean’s Circle is a comprehensive society for all unrestricted gifts of $1,000 or more to the College and its departments. Meet three Dean’s Circle donors, and learn why they give.
