Friends of Walsh University

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.

The Walsh University Board of Directors

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 Kentucky Derby Day in May and Fall Fashion Show in September.

The National Alumni Board of Trustees

In 2011, the Walsh University Alumni Association began the transition of becoming a National Alumni Board of Trustees with several key chapters across the country. The National Alumni Association is governed by a Board of up to 15 trustees with representation from each alumni chapter. These trustees serve a three-year term, and cannot serve more than two consecutive terms.  The Board meets two times per year with additional subcommittee meetings via conference call. 

Planned Giving Advisory Committee

The role of the Planned Giving Advisory Committee Members" is to assist the Director of Gift Planning in the areas of promotion, education, and technical assistance with planned giving. Further, the advisory committee is to provide a forum for fellowship and support among professionals, through formal meetings and informal relationships.

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.
