Documentation of planned gift intentions for ASEEES. All estate planning options will be considered and provide recognition subject to gift crediting guidelines.


“I benefited from generous faculty members who went beyond the convention halls to help me publish my work and to write letters of recommendation. And, of course, I met countless people over the years who enriched and continue to enrich my life with friendship and support…

The traumas of the COVID years have only reminded us of how much we appreciate the ASEEES community. And now the stakes could not be higher as we continue to help refugee scholars and students displaced by Russia’s ghastly and unconscionable war. I have donated to funds about which I feel passionate and to memorialize scholars who have departed this world knowing that they are dispersed to talented individuals who represent the future of our field.”
