John Loughlin, the first Bishop of Brooklyn, called upon the
Vincentians to establish a Catholic college to provide a quality
education for the children of immigrants who did not have access to
the benefits of higher education.
Members of the Loughlin Society celebrate his legacy by
contributing a leadership gift of $1,000 or more toward any
University fund during our fiscal year, which falls between June 1
and May 31. The Loughlin Society, with 1,275 members this year, is
built upon a solid foundation of support that inspires our students
to excel and our donors to give generously.
Membership levels include:
- Benefactors’ Council: $25,000+
- Trustees’ Circle: $10,000+
- President’s Cabinet: $5,000+
- University Fellow: $2,500+
- President’s Club: $1,000+
In addition to special recognition in the annual Honor Roll of Donors, Loughlin
Society members receive VIP seating at on-campus events and
invitations to special events held throughout the year.
