Lifetime Giving Recognition

Each year we are honored to recognize those who have made a difference through their unwavering and inspiring generosity by recognizing them at the Touchstone Dinner, the weekend of Homecoming. Just as a touchstone is known as a way of determining quality, the donors at the various lifetime donor achievement levels have become our touchstones. They reflect by their achievement and kindness the best of a Trine education.

The University applauds these donors and, in particular, appreciates their being the standard - bearers of generosity.
