SIU Simmons Law School Dean's Club | SIU Foundation | SIU

The Dean’s Club honors donors who are dedicated to advancing the mission of SIU Simmons Law School through an annual gift of $1,000 or more to the Strategic Excellence Fund. Members pledge to make this contribution each year, directly supporting the Dean’s priorities and the continued success of the law school.

All contributions go to the Strategic Excellence Fund, which empowers Dean Brenner Johnson to respond quickly to time-sensitive opportunities and unexpected challenges. These gifts make it possible to invest in emerging priorities such as faculty research, new course development, and community-based initiatives. They also provide immediate resources for scholarships, emergency financial aid, bar preparation assistance, and experiential learning opportunities.

Your gift helps SIU Simmons Law School transform lives by turning potential into purpose, helping students discover their calling, serve others, and shape the future of the law.

As a valued member of the Dean’s Club, you’ll receive an annual impact report detailing how your gift is making a difference, invitations to exclusive events, and a Dean’s Club lapel pin in recognition of your support.
