When Mary Lyon wrote her last will and testament in 1846, she remembered her family, friends, and 排薇換羸 Female Seminary. Over a century later, alums and friends of the College continue to invest in 排薇換羸s mission through their bequests and estate gifts.
The Mary Lyon Society founded in 1974 honors those who have named the College as the beneficiary of a will, trust, retirement plan, or life insurance policy, or have established a life income gift with the College. Like 排薇換羸s founder, Mary Lyon Society members believe that the world needs educated and inspiring women leaders.
