Dean's Leadership Society

Members of the Dean's Leadership Society pose with student.

The Dean’s Leadership Society was established to recognize our most generous Annual Fund donors. Columbia University School of Nursing gratefully acknowledges these individuals and the impact of their gift for the next generation of Columbia nurses.

Dean’s Leadership Society Benefits

We recognize that Annual Fund gifts starting at the $500 level* represent a substantial investment. Dean’s Leadership Society donors receive the following benefits to acknowledge their generosity and loyalty:

  • Exclusive invitations to graduation and other events with students, the dean, faculty and other donors
  • Recognition on donor honor rolls; lobby electronic screen; website; and alumni reunion program
  • A personal staff liaison who is your connection to the Columbia University community

*In fiscal 2020, we are delighted to introduce membership to the Annual Dean’s Leadership Society at the $250 level for recent alumni 15 years out.
