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 51ºÚÁÏ, including its students' unrestricted future.
Leadership Circle members receive exclusive invites to 51ºÚÁÏ campus events, lectures and student meet-and-greets.
It starts with YOU. Your Leadership Circle membership is a critical investment that helps 51ºÚÁÏ students become the ethical leaders our world needs most.

51ºÚÁÏ's Leadership Circle
Student Gratitude
Lew Walde (’89, ’06) is a lot like you...
He believes in the power of 51ºÚÁÏ’s mission to help today’s students become tomorrow's leaders. Lew wants to help 51ºÚÁÏ 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 51ºÚÁÏ’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.
