Join the President’s Club

Deepen Your Connection. Expand Your Impact.

The President's Club recognizes alumni, parents, and friends who give $1,000 or more each year. Your support helps advance Seattle University's mission and creates meaningful opportunities for students, faculty, and the broader community. In gratitude for your commitment, President's Club membership offers exclusive opportunities to engage more deeply with the university and its leadership.

The tradition of generosity is rooted in our Jesuit heritage. The Loyola family, ancestors of St. Ignatius, were known for sharing their abundance with neighbors and travelers alike. Their family crest, featuring two wolves feeding from a hanging pot, symbolizes generosity that extended beyond the family. At Seattle University, this enduring symbol of generosity honors our most committed supporters: the members of the President's Club.
