ANNUAL GIVING SOCIETY Founders' THE
Mary Frances Clarke
Membership Information
In 1843, Irish woman Mary Frances Clarke journeyed into pioneer
territory and formed a congregation of religious women, the
Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. With a belief in
changing hearts and minds, Clarke University was born.
MEDALLION
First medallion in collection
The legacy of Mary Frances Clarke and the founding Sisters is alive at Clarke through the vibrancy of our campus community
and longstanding traditions.
The Founders’ Society is an extension of Clarke’s BVM heritage and membership is reserved for alumni, parents, and friends
contributing $1,000 or more to Clarke annually. Your annual leadership gift allows students to have a well-rounded experience
both inside and outside of the classroom by supporting scholarships, premier academic programs, and enrichment activities.
For each year of membership, you will receive a custom medallion commemorating people, places, and events from Clarke’s
historic past and present. In addition, Founders’ Society members receive exclusive updates and invitations.
For more information please visit clarke.edu/founderssociety.
The Founders’ Society medallion program was underwritten thanks to the generosity of the Clarke University Board of Trustees.

One of Clarke’s most meaningful traditions, the class tree-planting
and subsequent tree-naming ceremony are practices that have
taken place on Clarke’s campus for more than a century.
