Leadership Giving

These benefactors lead the charge in helping to shape Centenary University’s future. The dedicated members of The Centenary Society and the President’s Advisory Council (PAC) have demonstrated their commitment to the University through a high level of sustained support.

The Centenary Society

Centenary University’s proud history is filled with examples of extraordinary people coming together to do remarkable things. The Centenary Society was created with this legacy in mind. Society members share our vision, entering into a unique partnership with the University and taking the lead to provide financial resources that assist Centenary in fulfilling its mission.

Centenary Society members benefit from upper tier amenities, including exclusive communication with the president and other University leaders, invitations to special events and social gatherings, personal visits, and more.

Gifts of $1,000 or more made during the University’s fiscal year (July 1 to June 30) qualify donors for membership in The Centenary Society. Benefactors who contribute $100,000 or more over a lifetime are also eligible for membership.

The President’s Advisory Council

Members of the President’s Advisory Council (PAC) serve as invaluable advisers to Centenary University’s president and as ambassadors to the broader community. Founded in 1994, this group of dedicated individuals engage with alumni and friends to build pride in and support for the University. As a result, their efforts advance Centenary in areas including recruitment, student life, fundraising, and many other critical initiatives.

PAC members also make a firm commitment to provide personal financial support to the University. We are grateful for their commitment to Centenary University.
