New York University Alumni: Donor Recognition Groups

A New Generation of Leaders
for New York University

Founded in 2003, The Circle has grown from 30 to over 450 members, each committed to one another and to the University. The Circle's mission is:

To recognize NYU graduates from the last 15 years who make annual gifts that set the standard for other young alumni
To create an opportunity for young alumni from the entire University community to network, socialize, and build relationships with other NYU leaders
To develop New York University's future leaders

As a member of The Circle, you are afforded exclusive access to your alma mater. By giving back to the University, you will gain entrée to special NYU events that will bring you face to face with today's prominent leaders from the University, business, and civic communities.

Your gift plays a critical role in determining the University's success by supporting the Fund for NYU. The Fund provides tuition assistance to deserving students, helps recruit and retain faculty, and keeps the University operating on a daily basis so it can maintain its position as one of the leading research universities in the world.

Graduates of the School of Law, School of Medicine, College of Dentistry, and Stern Graduate School of Business are invited to contact their Schools' Office of Alumni Relations for more information on giving clubs available within the individual schools.
