President Circle

The President Circle, leadership donors who make gifts of $1,000 or more to Excelsior, make up a significant portion of our overall fundraising each year. We rely on this group to help Excelsior deliver on its mission to provide access to education to those traditionally underrepresented in higher education. President Circle donors are loyal and generous alumni and friends of the university whose leadership giving and deep commitment to Excelsior set an example, inspire others, and make a significant impact. The financial contributions of the President Circle support transformational learning experiences for our students.

President Circle Donors receive the following:

  • Opportunities to deepen connections with Excelsior through increased contact with alumni, faculty, students, and leadership.
  • Invitations to conversations with the president and special opportunities to meet the president at regional events.
  • Gifts of unique Excelsior branded merchandise.
