Heritage Society

The Heritage Society of Cal State East Bay was established to honor alumni, friends, faculty, and staff who have created a lasting legacy by designating a planned gift to the University.

While traditional cash gifts are invaluable to the university today, charitable planned giving is a crucial investment in the university's commitment to be relevant, responsive, and ready for the future of higher education at the East Bay's university.

Members of the Heritage Society have designated will bequests, living trust gifts, charitable gift annuities, charitable remainder trusts and other forms of planned gifts for specific or discretionary purposes to Cal State East Bay.

Heritage Society events are held on an annual basis. Members can be recognized or choose to remain anonymous.

The annual Cal State East Bay legacy society luncheon celebrated new member inductees and current members alike.

The "Full STEM Ahead" program featured Dr. Jason Singley, Professor of Physics and Dean of the College of Science who highlighted programs where students are creating new knowledge through the scientific process. At the same time students are applying their learning to impact local and global communities, they are making significant contributions to the regional high-tech economy.

College of Science student scholars, with the aid of educational poster boards, were available to illuminate guests on their projects, ranging from building multi-purpose drones to researching the fungal endophytes of native plant species.

Entertainment was provided by talented student performers from the Department of Theatre and Dance who performed songs from the spring '19 production of "Little Shop of Horrors."

We are grateful to the many generous alumni and friends who are helping the university plan for the future of our students through many forms of planned gifts.
