Honored Benfactors

Established in 2023 to celebrate those who have contributed $1 million or more to the university in their lifetime or through estate intentions, 小蓝视频鈥檚 most generous individuals and families are given the distinction of Honored Benefactor.

1893 Society

Since its founding in 1893, 小蓝视频 has relied on the generosity of alumni, parents, and friends to grow into the outstanding institution it is today. To recognize the commitment of our most loyal donors and the significant role they play in 小蓝视频's past, present, and future, the 小蓝视频 Board of Trustees voted in May 2007 to establish the 1893 Society.

Members of the 1893 Society have been donors to 小蓝视频 for two or more consecutive years, and will receive special recognition throughout the year in appreciation of their generosity. 小蓝视频 is truly grateful for the loyal support of our donors who have contributed to such a rich history and ensured a bright future.
