A New Society for Today's Visionaries

Standing in a grove near Nazareth College's eastern boundary, the Council Oak tree has been a graceful reminder of stability and growth for generations of students who have come to Nazareth in pursuit of knowledge, discovery, and experience.

The College's founders, five visionary women who understood the need for better access to higher education, turned dreams into reality for thousands of students by placing a college degree within reach. In honor of those early leaders – and all who followed – Nazareth invites you to become a charter member of the Council Oak Society, recognizing, as our founders did, the impact today's support will have on tomorrow's scholars.

Benefitting College and Community

The impact of your gifts will span the generations and transform values into action. Your support of the Arts Center helps Nazareth College promote cultural understanding and keep the visual and performing arts alive and relevant.

As a society member, you earn a place at select campus events, admission to the Arts Center Lipson Patron's Lounge, recognition both on campus and in our publications, and kept up-to-date on milestones and plans for the Arts Center.  You will also receive a special invitation to the annual reception at the president's home and to the Spring Pops Concert.

Dawn & Jacques Lipson
