Recognition & Engagement

  • Recognition on the Legacy Society webpage (with an option for anonymity). 
  • Digital recognition across campus. 
  • Exclusive updates and communications from the university. 
  • Opportunities to connect with students, faculty and fellow members. 
  • Invitations to lectures, special events and campus experiences. 
  • Your story highlighted in newsletters, digital, or print publications. 
  • Commemorative print representing long-term impact. 
I am so grateful for my ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ experience that really helped shape most of the successes I’ve had in life, from the friendships made to career opportunities. That is why I’ve chosen to include ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ as a part of my estate planning and to leave something behind to our university that has done so much for us. We use the expression ‘Osprey For Life’, but by including ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ in your planned giving, you remain an ‘Osprey Forever.'

I included ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ in my will because I feel passionate about education and the education I received at ³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ. By incorporating the University in my will I leave a legacy of learning and self improvement for the next generation of Ospreys.
