GC Society

Create your own legacy by joining the GC Society.

Members of the Greensboro College Society, a generous and committed group of supporters who donate $1,000 or more annually (or $250 for graduates of the last 15 years), ensure a rigorous and rewarding educational experience that becomes the framework for futures filled with lifelong learning and lasting meaning. 

For those whose finances allow, a leadership gift of $1000 or more to the GC Fund or any fund helps provide the crucial core of our annual funds. GC Society-level donors are recognized for their leadership gifts in the Honor Roll of Donors. GC Society donors may make a one-time gift or set up a pledge early in the fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) for monthly installments throughout the year by check or credit card, ($83.34/month) or through a gift of appreciated securities.

Lifetime Greensboro College Society recognition is available for cumulative giving of $100,000 or more.

Those who graduated within the past 15 years have an opportunity to be leadership donors to GC at a gift level that is more within reach of young professionals. Young alumni often choose to make a monthly recurring gift by credit card to reach this level ($20.84/month). They are recognized just as are full GC Society members.

Dr. Josh Fitzgerald, Greensboro College class of 2019

“I loved the GC Honors program and Greensboro College. I felt safe and a sense of genuine belonging at the college. I worked closely with my thesis advisor and professors who helped inspire me to define my path and passion of interest. That path has led me to complete my doctoral studies in Engineering Mechanics.”

Dr. Josh Fitzgerald earned his master's from Virginia Tech University (studied astrodynamics) as well as earning an Engineering Mechanics Ph.D. He joined the NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston, TX as an Advanced Mission Design Engineer, optimizing trajectories for the Artemis II and III missions to return humans to the moon.
