At a luncheon in the Marcus Welcome Center on Tuesday, April 7, the WSU Foundation will honor donors at the annual Society of 1895 celebration. Named after the founding year of Fairmount College, predecessor to WSU, the Society of 1895 recognizes those who have included a gift to WSU in their estate plans. To learn more about how you can include a gift to WSU in your estate plans, contact the WSU Foundation at 978-3040 or visit the "ways to give" section of the Foundation's Web site at http://webs.wichita.edu/?u=foundation2&p=/SupportWSU/Waystogive.
Through gift provisions in wills, trusts, retirement plans, life insurance and gift annuities, these alumni and friends have helped to assure a future of excellence for Wichita State. The foundation is aware of more than 430 gift commitments that will yield more than $66 million. Among these planned gift donors are 45 current and former faculty and staff.
