Dean's Club
The Walker College Dean’s Club is an annual giving society designed to benefit our students and faculty while enhancing our academic programs. Contributions from Dean’s Club members provide unrestricted support each year for critical needs in the college such as: student scholarships, travel funds for faculty and students to attend course-related conferences and/or visits to corporations, seed money for new programs or opportunities within the college, and resources to bring guest lecturers, such as leaders in business and government, to the classroom.
There are four levels of membership, based on giving level.
- Elite - $10,000+
- Fellow - $5,000 to $9,999
- Roundtable - $2,500 to $4,999
- Associate - $1,000 to $2,499
To join, contact Walker College of Business Director of Development Will Sears at 828.262.6231 or searswill@appstate.edu. Or make a gift online using a credit card.
