Gift Planning

University Chancellor The Rt. Rev. Henry Parsley, C'70, titled his first Founders' Day Convocation address, "Remember the Future." With Bishop Parsley's permission, we have adopted the title of his address as the theme for Sewanee's gift planning program and the title of its newsletter.

As you browse through the information on these web pages, take the time to remember and to reflect on what Sewanee means to you. And then reflect on how Sewanee can have an impact on future generations and what you can do to ensure Sewanee's future.

Please contact us if you would like any additional information about the ideas and plans described on these pages. If you would like to discuss the best way to plan a gift to Sewanee, we are available to help you.

Bishop Parsley concluded his address with these words, "In remembering, may we be rededicated to the yet unfinished work that is Sewanee and to giving the best of ourselves for her advancement and felicity." Remember Sewanee. Remember the future.
