Every institution needs philanthropic leaders. The Presidents Circle recognizes donors whose extraordinary generosity helps IU actualize its vision.
Members receive a distinguished medallion, engraved with their name, at the annual luncheon. (The medallions have been struck using metal from the original carillon bells that once rang in the IU Bloomington Student Building.) In addition, a plaque in the Indiana Memorial Union displays members' names.
