Would you like to give to others in a lasting way? Legacy gifts are a meaningful way to honor the indelible impact ˿Ƶ had on your life. The Canavan Planned Giving Society recognizes our alumni, family, and friends, who want to mark the university’s long-standing history and equally importantly, its bright future through their philanthropic legacy commitments.
The Society is named in honor of our 2nd President, M. Angela Canavan, OSF. Members join Sister Angela in furthering the knowledge and traditions of the university's mission – education and service – for future generations of ˿Ƶ students.
