Fulton Circle — $5,000 to $9,999
Named for Íæż½ã½ã’s first academic dean, Robert Fulton, SJ, the Fulton Circle honors Íæż½ã½ã donors who champion Jesuit Catholic education. Father Fulton launched Íæż½ã½ã’s first-ever public relations campaign to promote the value of Jesuit higher education. Fulton’s focus on a liberal arts foundation and student formation remain Íæż½ã½ã’s core tenets which set the University apart to this day.
Fulton Circle donors believe deeply in Íæż½ã½ã’s value and mission. With an annual gift of $5,000 to $9,999, donors join the Fulton Circle to continue their journey of philanthropic impact and engagement with Íæż½ã½ã.
