Supporting RMU
President's Council
When you believe in an organization and feel strongly about the value of its purpose and mission, you can't help but want to be a part of it in some way.
The members of the President's Council feel this way about Robert Morris University. They demonstrate sincere confidence in President Dell'Omo and his vision for the university, and they set a valuable example for all members of the RMU community to share in this vision.
The President's Council consists of alumni, trustees, parents, faculty, staff, corporations, foundations, and friends who have made a gift of $1,000 or more to the university during the previous fiscal year. Gifts are directed to virtually every area within the university—academic programs, educational resources, faculty development, capital projects, student research grants, scholarship support, and endowment growth.
For just a little over $83 dollars a month, President's Council members can know that they are part of something important; something that not only changes the lives of our students but that has a ripple effect on the region as a whole, making sure that tomorrow's leaders have the skills, knowledge, and tools they need to effect positive changes in the world around them.
Benefits of Membership
As a member of RMU's President's Council, in addition to knowing that you're helping to provide a quality education to our students, you're also part of an exclusive club with many worthwhile benefits.
Each December, the annual President’s Council Dinner honors that year's contributors, as well as students and alumni who have shown exemplary service to the university.
During the dinner, RMU's Heritage Award is presented to an alum for distinguished service and accomplishment in any field of human endeavor that brings honor to the recipient and the university. The Rising Star Award is presented to a graduating senior who demonstrates academic success, individuality, determination, passion, and potential in his or her field of study.
The 2011 dinner was held Dec. 1 at Heinz Field, where President Gregory Dell'Omo presented the Heitage Award to John Bartling '82, and the Rising Star Award to Briana Smith '11.
- President's Council members also receive the President's Insider newsletter, which provides an insider's look to what's happening at RMU.
Other benefits include invitations to:
- The President's box for home football games
- Special events at President Dell'Omo's residence
- Annual alumni trips
- New York City Weekend
- Annual New York City Holiday dinner
- RMU /Manchester Craftsmen's Guild Summer Jazz series (inaugural event in 2012)
- And much more!
Annual giving has the greatest impact on our students and our campus. When you choose to give annually at the President's Council level, you’re making an investment in the future prosperity and growth of our region, which, in turn, has a positive impact on the community at large.
You're changing someone’s life is by giving them the gift of opportunity.
