                                 Members of the George Eastman Circle, the University’s

                                 premier leadership annual giving society, stand at the

                                 forefront of a movement that will help provide an even

                                 greater service to the world.





          George Eastman understood that the world’s great research
          universities are unique. They are the only institutions that can
          contribute to the greater good of society, across the broadest
          range of subjects, in perpetuity.

          Early in the 20th century, George Eastman and a fellow group
          of leaders recognized the important ways that the University
          of Rochester could contribute toward the greater good.
          Their vision, leadership, and philanthropic support were
          instrumental in transforming the University of Rochester into
          one of the world’s finest research universities. That support
          spanned multiple disciplines and, today, the impact George
          Eastman made is seen throughout the University community
          and the world.

          George Eastman Circle members make a five-year pledge of
          $1,500 or greater annually to designated areas where their        “The progress of the world

          personal interests and passions are greatest.                      depends almost entirely
                                                                                upon education.”
          These extremely influential leaders earn a significant place in
          University history for their dedication and belief in Rochester’s
          future—and play a critical role in ensuring the University will
          have a reliable, steady stream of income for years to come.
