Leadership Circle

 Íø±¬ÃÅ University Leadership Circle

What is the Leadership Circle?

Zags who make donations totaling $1,500 or more over the course of an academic year are members of the Leadership Circle. 

Leadership Circle gifts make up 70% of the annual funds supporting students, making the University less tuition-dependent, and reducing student debt.

Some people direct their gift(s) to a specific school, college or named scholarship — all wonderful ways to make an impact. But when you make your Leadership Circle gift toward unrestricted funds, you know that your gift has helped to support everything at Íø±¬ÃÅ, including its students' unrestricted future.

Leadership Circle members receive exclusive invites to Íø±¬ÃÅ campus events, lectures and student meet-and-greets.

It starts with YOU. Your Leadership Circle membership is a critical investment that helps Íø±¬ÃÅ students become the ethical leaders our world needs most.

Lew Walde (’89, ’06) is a lot like you...

He believes in the power of Íø±¬ÃÅ’s mission to help today’s students become tomorrow's leaders. Lew wants to help Íø±¬ÃÅ students in a significant way, which is why he is proud to be a member of the Leadership Circle. His gifts not only place him among Íø±¬ÃÅ’s most vital supporters, but they also give him a network of Zag families, alumni, and friends who, like him, make GU a philanthropic priority.
