Presidents Society
A collection of exceptional leaders whose philanthropy has positioned the 91Âé¶¹¾«Æ· for extraordinary success.
The Presidents Society was established in 2019 with 17 pioneer members to showcase and acknowledge the generosity of a group of philanthropists who have made lifetime gifts totaling $1 million or more.
The pillars of Kearney Hall, the most symbolic building on 91Âé¶¹¾«Æ·’s campus, will forever bear these names as a reminder of their impact. It is their longtime commitment and overwhelming generosity that have allowed 91Âé¶¹¾«Æ· to change, enrich our community, and maintain success and growth.
