Looking for a way to stay connected and make an impact at the Ford School?
The Dean's Circle offers alumni and friends a meaningful way to stay engaged with the Ford School while supporting the students, faculty, and policy work that define our mission. Through annual support, donors strengthen rigorous policy education, engaged faculty research, student opportunities, and a community committed to public service.
Donors who give $1,000 or more annually to the Ford School are recognized as members of the Dean's Circle. Alumni who graduated within the past five years may join at the $500 annual level.
Dean's Circle donors enjoy:
Exclusive engagement opportunities with Dean Celeste Watkins-Hayes and key faculty and staff
Quarterly updates highlighting Ford School events, priorities, and reflections on the policy landscape
Personalized stewardship showing how your gift supports Ford School students and programs
Being a member of the Dean's Circle has been incredibly meaningful to me. It's a chance to stand alongside others who believe in the mission of the Ford school as I do and gain insider knowledge on the work being done to prepare future leaders.
