Dean's Club Young Alumni
Recognizing that many of our newest graduates are just beginning to build their careers, the Dean's Club welcomes young alumni to join at a reduced giving level. If you are under 40 or graduated within the last 10 years, a gift of $500 or more to the Dean's Club in a fiscal year qualifies you for full Dean's Club membership and benefits. It's a meaningful way to start a lifelong habit of giving back to the Walker College while connecting with the same network, events, and impact enjoyed by all Dean's Club members.
