Many members of the Dean’s Leadership Circle have established or contributed to scholarships, and each year the School hosts a luncheon to bring together these generous donors and the students they have directly supported. If you are a member already, please look for your invitation to this year’s October 11 luncheon via email and mail. Not a member? Learn more about how you can make a difference here.
