The Dean’s Circle recognizes annual donors of $2,000 and above to UNC Kenan-Flagler. This select group of donors contributes over 90 percent of all private funds to the School annually —leading the way for other philanthropic support. These gifts — combined with all other private support—fund over 15% of our annual operating budget. We need the support of our Dean’s Circle members to continue providing exceptional educational opportunities to our students and faculty. There has never been a more important time to invest in UNC Kenan-Flagler.
Members will receive access to exclusive events, including the annual Dean’s Circle Reception in the fall, periodic updates from Dean Mary Margaret Frank and the opportunity to join the UNC Kenan-Flagler Alumni Council.
