The Tower Society

Since 1977, joining the Tower Society has been a special way for US alumni, parents and friends to show the depth of their loyalty and support for the excellent programs and education that US offers.

Tower Society recognition provides the school with an opportunity to honor its most committed donors. The Society’s name came from the best-known symbol of the School, the Shaker Campus tower, beloved by generations of alumni, parents and friends of US. Traditionally, more than 80% of the total dollars contributed to the Annual Fund come from Tower Society gifts.
