The Legacy Society

The Legacy Society was established to honor and recognize alumni and friends who have made plans to provide for Western Illinois University through a bequest, funded life insurance policy, life income contract, or other type of planned gift. Members of our Legacy Society understand that our future depends upon their active participation through their charitable estate planning today. The Legacy Society exists as a symbol of the vision and commitment imparted to future generations of Western Illinois University students, faculty, alumni, and friends.
