Celebrate and Advance Through Your Support
As we approach The College’s centennial celebration, we honor those who have consistently supported us over our first 100 years while positioning ourselves to thrive into a new century of leadership.
More Information
The Centennial Pledge is an opportunity for individuals whose lives were enriched by The College to make an investment in our future through a five-year annual commitment and/or a new bequest made to The College in the form of a beneficiary designation from a will, trust, insurance policy, or IRA account.
Recognized annual giving levels for the Centennial Pledge include:
- Platinum: $10,000 (total pledge $50,000)
- Diamond: $5,000 (total pledge $25,000)
- Gold: $2,000 (total pledge $10,000)
- Silver: $1,000 (total pledge $5,000)
- Bronze: $500 (total pledge $2,500)
Your pledge will support the growth, expansion, and modernization of The College’s academic offerings and programs. You may also choose to designate your pledge to a specific program.
When you make a Centennial Pledge with an annual gift of $1,500 or more, you join The College’s President’s Circle. When you notify The College of your estate gift intention, you become a member of the Legacy Society. All Centennial Pledge donors will be recognized at The College’s annual President’s Dinner and in The College’s Donor Honor Roll.
