Honored Benefactors

The Simpson Wall of Honor is a symbolic place where we display the names of our most distinguished alumni, exemplary faculty members, and greatest benefactors. The Honored Benefactor Wall recognizes donors whose cumulative lifetime giving meets or exceeds $1 million. Names are added to the Wall of Honor every five years on the half decade, with honorees celebrated during that year’s Homecoming festivities.
