We would like to thank the many friends of Walsh University for their time, donations and overall commitment to making Walsh University an asset to, not only its students, but the community at large. Thank you for taking the time to give to Walsh!
Below is a list of some of our boards and committees that help make so much at Walsh University a reality for our students, alumni, faculty, staff and the community.
Walsh University Board of Directors
Walsh University is governed by a 34-member Board of Directors comprised of alumni, entrepreneurs, educators, business and community leaders, clergy, and members of the Brothers of Christian Instruction, Walsh’s founding order. Members meet three times per year as a full board, with committees meeting occurring more frequently as needed. The Board’s role is to make the high-level policy and governance decisions that guide the University as it seeks to fulfill its mission of preparing leaders in service to others.
- The Walsh University Women's Committee
The Walsh University Women's Committee, organized to serve as a liaison to the community, has raised more than $500,000 to aid in various university projects, including a commitment to the David Campus Center, campus signs and beautification, purchasing of equipment and furnishings and maintaining an endowed scholarship fund. This Walsh women's group organizes two major Canton-area fundraisers annually: the Passport to the World event in May and Fall Fashion Show in November.
- The Alumni Board of Trustees
The Alumni Association of Walsh University, now includes a community of 14,000+ alumni from 34 countries and all 50 states. Since 1964, the Alumni Board of Trustees has worked to maintain and strengthen relationships with alumni, while supporting the University and its initiatives.
- Planned Giving Advisory Committee
The Planned Giving Advisory Committee supports Walsh University’s planned and estate giving initiatives through promotion of opportunities for philanthropy, hosting of educational and networking programs, provision of technical advice, and advocacy for the University in the community. Members represent a wide variety of financial and legal services industries and include Walsh alumni and friends.
- The Heritage Society
The Brother Thomas S. Farrell Heritage Society was established to recognize the permanent value of legacy gifts to Walsh University. This society is named after Walsh's first president. Walsh honors alumni, friends, faculty and staff who have demonstrated outstanding commitment to our institution by choosing to benefit the University through planned giving. Planned gifts include gifts through wills, charitable trusts, gift annuities, life insurance, endowed scholarships or other estate planning arrangements.
