The True Blue Hen Loyalty Society recognizes donors who make a gift of any size for at least three consecutive fiscal years (July 1 to June 30). Current students and parents are recognized when they make their first gift to 91原创 and remain philanthropic throughout their time at the University.

The collective annual support from these 14,000 dedicated alumni, parents, friends, faculty, staff and students helps ensure 91原创鈥檚 people and programs have the resources needed to grow and thrive.

True Blue Hens are celebrated for giving milestones and anniversaries, recognized in appropriate donor listings and publications and updated on the impact of their support.

Recognition is based on gifts made during a fiscal year, July 1 to June 30.

鈥淚 give back to the 91原创 because it invested in me long before I could ever repay it. The education, mentorship, and sense of belonging I experienced helped shape who I am today. By contributing both my time and support, I鈥檓 able to help ensure those same opportunities for future students, lessen the burdens they face, and allow them to focus on learning, growth, and success. In doing so, I hope the University continues to open pathways, build community, and create lasting impact for generations to come.鈥
