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.
