The Sylvan Circle Society honors friends who make a commitment to the future support of SDSU through planned and deferred gifts to the university. The recognition society takes its name from the Coolidge Sylvan Theatre, one of the treasured landmarks on the campus. Qualifying gifts include a bequest in a will or a revocable living trust to the SDSU Foundation, designation as a beneficiary in an insurance policy or retirement plan, a life income agreement or a life estate gift of a residence or farm property.
Sylvan Circle members each receive a specially designed Sylvan Circle lapel pin, a membership certificate and an invitation to the annual recognition event on campus.
