The Wall of Honor reached its 10th anniversary this year. Through the wall, 296 members of our East-West Center community were nominated and/or honored. It has raised nearly $180,000 that has gone into the EWCA Alumni Endowment Fund to support student scholarships. The Wall of Honor is an incredible tribute to those that are named and those that gave. The desire of alumni to give others the opportunity for life-changing experiences and relationships keeps us all motivated and connected back to our mission.
You are invited to honor East-West Center persons—past or present—who have been important in your life. The nominees must be affiliated with the East-West Center as alumni, professional participants, students, fellows, staff, host family, Friends of the East-West Center, or members of an EWC board. After someone is designated a nominee with an initial gift of at least $100, additional contributions in any amount of $25 or more may be given in the name of the nominee. The complete list of nominees is below. Honorees who have received a total of $1,000 or more are listed on the EWCA Endowment Fund Wall of Honor in Burns Hall lobby.
Wall of Honor donations will support student scholarships through the EWCA Alumni Endowment Fund.
