Join the Dean's Club

Advance the Vision

Dean's Club donors embody the spirit of our mission, recognizing the important role the Evans School plays in improving the quality of public and nonprofit service. In a time when the responsibilities of the public, nonprofit, and private sectors no longer have distinct boundaries, we strive to educate leaders who promote civil civic discourse and work across political lines in order to effectively address our most pressing community challenges.

Dean's Club members share our commitment to creating more effective public sector and nonprofit organizations, new partnerships for stronger communities, and a renewed trust in government.

Members of the Dean's Club define the future of the Evans School by helping us to:

  • Engage in innovative policy research
  • Provide financial support to deserving students
  • Recruit and retain excellent faculty members
  • Bring guest lecturers, distinguished scholars, and practitioners to campus to share their expertise

You, too, can make a difference. Your generosity helps to prepare leaders and pursue ideas to transform the world – one student, one idea, one dialogue at a time.

We invite you to partner with the Evans School by joining the Dean's Club.
