Investors Circle recognizes lead donors who generously support the VCU School of Business. These alumni, recent graduates, faculty, and community and business partners choose to invest in the school with a one-time or cumulative unrestricted gift to the School of Business Annual Fund, School of Business Merit Scholarship or Opportunity Scholarship Funds, or the Dean’s Impact Fund.
Each year, members of Investors Circle are invited to participate in two or more events to recognize alumni, recent graduates, faculty and community and business partners.
