Dean's Circle
We regularly hear from alumni that their time at Heinz transformed their lives. Whether it was being inspired in the classroom, changed by relationships with classmates, or made different through exposure to new ideas and adventures, our graduates tell us that Heinz provided an experience like no other - and that they're better for it.
We stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us. If you are in a position to support Heinz College and to help the next generation of Heinzers experience their own transformation, we invite you to consider a gift to Heinz.
Your generosity is gratefully appreciated, whatever the amount. As an added thank you to alumni, friends, faculty, and staff who contribute $2,500 and above annually, we recognize them in Heinz College Dean's Circle.
