From the very beginning, Rochester has been shaped by people who cared enough to act. For Ever Better is the next chapter in our story—one we are writing together.
I stay involved and give back to ensure that students of limited means have the same opportunities I did—and to inspire others to do the same.

While philanthropy and engagement have always been central to our success, leadership and advocacy have never been more essential than they are today. Our campaign will provide the resources and energy we need to carry our mission forward for future generations.
Donors who give regularly at the leadership level or who include us in their estate plans are recognized in one of more of our giving societies.
“I am a member of the George Eastman Circle because I believe in investing in what lasts—education, leadership, and the communities that shape us. The University of Rochester ignited a spark in me that continues to inspire how I grow, lead, and give back.”
