On April 20, 2024, amid the excitement of Reunion at ThurtenE Carnival, the Office of Planned Giving was honored to welcome many of our Brookings Partners on the Danforth Campus for Partners in Excellence: A Celebration of Gratitude.
In person for the first time since 2019, Partners in Excellence is a celebration of those individuals who have chosen to support Washington University through a provision in their estate plan or through establishment of a life income gift. This year, our attending Partners enjoyed a cocktail reception in Rettner Gallery in Wrighton Hall with music provided by the WashU Jazz Trio. Guests were greeted by Feng Sheng Hu, the Richard G. Engelsmann Dean of Arts & Sciences; Carmon Colangelo, the Ralph J. Nagel Dean of the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts; Senior Vice Chancellor for University Advancement Bill Stoll, who provided a welcome address; and several members of University Advancement staff, who all shared their gratitude for the combined generosity of this special group of donors.
If you would like to make a planned gift in support of Washington University, contact the Office of Planned Giving to speak with a member of our staff. Or, if you have already included WashU in your plans, please let us know so we can properly recognize you and celebrate your gift.
