Rooted in Trust

PLS Sequoia Banner
Members of the President’s Leadership Society create momentum like no other. 
They invest more than financial support—they invest trust in the university and its mission.

 

President’s Leadership Society members directly propel the Greater, We Ascend campaign, uplifting the Leadership for a Changing World strategic plan. Flexible gifts bring this plan to life by improving access and affordability, strengthening interdisciplinary learning.

Our highest-level supporters of the Puget Sound Fund provide two essential acts of trust in the university and our bright students:

Leadership
Flexibility

By supporting the Puget Sound Fund—our most flexible and adaptable form of funding—President’s Leadership Society members invest in today’s students so they can be tomorrow’s leaders.

This kind of unrestricted, expendable funding helped carry Puget Sound through the COVID-19 pandemic, allowed faculty and students to tackle the emerging opportunities and challenges of AI, enabled the reimagining of class syllabi and new research—and continues to create a learning environment where innovation thrives. To this day, supporters of the Puget Sound Fund meet students' most immediate needs through financial aid, technological replacements, class resources, research funding, and more.

These dedicated supporters give with the confidence that we’re addressing our students’ most critical needs. No matter the student, no matter the initiative—the President’s Leadership Society helps us to make our mission a reality for the students we serve. That’s what it means to lead with trust.

Our unrestricted funding applies to the needs of every single student on campus without being bound by major, class year, athletics, or time. This is one of the only areas of impact that touches each student on Puget Sound campus right now. 

It's no surprise university leadership recognizes you as some of our most valued and influential partners. 

With your leadership in providing agile and flexible funding for today’s students, as part of the President's Leadership Society, 

we want to invite you in, we want to hear from you, and, above all, we want to thank you.

Meet with us, tell us your perspective, and let us thank you

We’re preparing leaders to confront uncertainty with clarity, bridge divides with empathy, and drive positive change in a world that demands courage and creativity.

The world needs Puget Sound graduates more than ever—and Puget Sound needs you. We’re thrilled to have you as a part of the community, and to see you and learn your story at our upcoming events.

Message from the President

Every day at Puget Sound, bright and talented students from all across the country are discovering their passions and striving to make the world a better place. Faculty are working closely with students to develop their interests, explore new frontiers, and uncover new knowledge. We are creating new stories that are made possible by alumni, parents and friends who believe in the transformative power of a Puget Sound education.

The President’s Leadership Society celebrates our shared commitment to this college that changes lives. As a member of the President’s Leadership Society, you are part of a special group of our most generous donors to the Alumni, Parents, and Friends Funds. Your annual support benefits our entire community by making a Puget Sound education more enriching and affordable for all students.

Puget Sound would not be the college it is today without your commitment to student success. I am deeply grateful for your leadership and support.
