The College of Arts and Sciences recognizes annual donors to the Arts and Sciences Fund of $1,500 or more as members of the Dean’s Circle. These alumni, friends and parents make a difference in the lives of College students and faculty every day through their leadership level support. We are incredibly grateful for the investment and pride that those in this group have for the College, and for their commitment to excellence.

Young alumni who make an annual contribution to the Arts and Sciences Fund of $500+ (1-5 years after graduation) and $1,000+ (6-10 years after graduation) will qualify as members of the Dean’s Circle.

Margaret Harper Society: $5,000+

Join the Margaret Harper Society within the Dean’s Circle with an annual contribution of $5,000 or more to the Arts and Sciences Fund. In 1975, Margaret Harper became the first of many donors to the Foundation with a gift of $1,000, the equivalent of about $5,000 today.
