Recognition Societies
Recognition societies honor and thank alumni, parents and friends who help advance the university’s mission through generous financial support. Some societies honor donors to a specific area of the university, while others recognize donors for their cumulative or consecutive giving. Society members enjoy a number of benefits, including invitations to members-only events and special university communications. For all societies, membership is determined by gifts in a fiscal year, which is from July 1 to June 30.
