Lifetime Recognition Societies

The Miami University Presidents Club was founded in 1968 and the Prodesse Society in 1984, both for the purpose of advancing the goals of the institution. Over the years, members of both societies have joined together to provide millions in private support to enrich the academic community and to invigorate campus life.

All members of both societies receive special mailings and invitations to various university events.

If you have any questions, please contact Heather Kaufman, Director of Stewardship, at 513/529-5227 or email: kaufmaha@muohio.edu.
