Claremont Graduate University Recognition Clubs

The Blaisdell Society
Named after our founding president, James Blaisdell, The Blaisdell Society consists of individuals who have made estate commitments or have entered lifetime contracts with Claremont Graduate University.  The generosity of these alumni and friends provides vital support for our future.

The Colleagues
The Colleagues is a community of generous CGU alumni and friends who share Claremont Graduate University’s steadfast commitment to graduate education by supporting CGU with a minimum annual fund gift of $1,000.

Benefits of membership in these organizations

Members of the Blaisdell Society and The Colleagues are invited to attend a Fall and a Spring Brunch in their honor.   Typically held at the CGU president’s home, these events provide supporters with a “state of the University” update as well as time to interact with faculty and students.
