Gift Recognition

Every gift to the College, including unrestricted donations, goes directly towards projects that have an immediate impact on current students and other members of the College.  We are immensely grateful for every donation received.

“It is a privilege to give a little back in return for having been given such a wonderful experience and opportunity. I hope all alumni will support, little or much.”

 Alan Lovell (Classics, 1972)

Donor Recognition

All donors who have given any amount to College and those who make gifts in kind are listed in the Donor RollThanks to You. All donors who have given to College in the past 12 months are invited to attend an Annual Donor Reception.
