The President’s Circle is composed of an incredibly generous group of alumnae, parents, and friends that contribute $1,000 or more annually to College of Saint Benedict. I am continually inspired by the Saint Ben’s community – it is a group that cares so much for each other, they are willing to share their time, talents and financial resources.
In addition to financial support, the President’s Circle Committee also provides an important way to make in impact through participation. I have found that being a member of the President’s Circle Committee is a simple, yet meaningful way to give back in addition to my annual contribution. The function of the committee is to personally thank donors that have made their annual President’s Circle gift through phone calls and notes. Each year we conclude with the President’s Circle Dinner, an opportunity to meet and celebrate our collective support for Saint Ben's.
If you are interested in learning more about the President’s Circle Committee or making a gift, please contact Shannon Wiger, Annual Giving Associate, at swiger@csbsju.edu or 320.363.5750.
