Robins Society

Loyal support is the cornerstone of our institution’s success. Launched in January 2019, the Robins Society honors steadfast donors who continue our important tradition of giving. Through this society, we proudly recognize those who have given to the University over an unbroken series of fiscal years, regardless of giving amount.
