Society of 1847

A Lasting Legacy: Society of 1847

The Society of 1847 honors our alumni, faculty, staff, and friends who support City College through bequests, annuities, trusts, and a myriad of other planned giving options. Members of the Society of 1847 are invited to take part in the College’s Commencement exercises and are honored guests at College lectures, seminars, and special events.

Planned giving ensures that CCNY can continue to serve its mission with excellence well into the future. Start your planned gift to CCNY today.

If you have already provided for City College in your will or trust, please let us know so that we may officially welcome you to the Society.
