Heritage Society
Many faithful investors in our mission desire to leave a lasting legacy — laying the foundation to sustain the University's mission well into the future. Olivet's Heritage Society recognizes and honors those individuals who make Bequests and other planned gifts.
Heritage Society members include dedicated trustees, alumni, faculty, staff and other special friends who demonstrate their commitment by investing now for long-term impact. We commend them for their vision and generosity.
