1831 Society

The 1831 Society celebrates Wesleyan’s most loyal and generous supporters—those who make annual leadership gifts of $1,831 or more, a tribute to Wesleyan’s founding year of 1831. Through their commitment, 1831 Society members play a vital role in advancing Wesleyan’s mission and enhancing the student experience.

The 1831 Society also welcomes students and Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD) who are stepping forward as leaders and shaping Wesleyan’s future. With giving levels starting at $100 for the Senior Class, $250+ for graduates 1 to 5 years out, and $500+ for those celebrating their 6th to 10th Reunions, GOLD members of the 1831 Society are embraced as valued partners in Wesleyan’s continued excellence.
