The William Paterson University Heritage Society was created in 2011 to recognize loyal donors who have given to the University for 20 years or more, regardless of gift size. Together, gifts from our most dedicated donors, along with those of fellow alumni and friends, have fueled the growth of your alma mater. Most important, the philanthropic giving of our loyal donors has empowered countless students to succeed through scholarships, quality academic resources, access to state-of-the-art technology, and life changing educational experiences. Members of the Heritage Society are gifted with a small lapel pin to recognize their Pioneer pride. For more information about the Heritage Society, please contact the Office of Annual Giving at 973.720.3847 or annualfund@wpunj.edu.
