The
Foundation
of a
great
university
Melvin ’49
and
Lois ’49 Kirkland
taught for more than three
decades in the Seattle public schools. Melvin, a special
education instructor, and Lois, an elementary teacher, touched
more lives than they could have imagined through their
dedication and passion for teaching.
Although Lois passed away in 2003 and Melvin in 2008, they
continue to share their love of learning with the students of
Winona State. They left their entire estate -- the largest ever
single gift to Winona State – to the WSU Foundation to be
used for scholarships for aspiring teachers.
Like the Kirklands, your planned gift – large or small – will
support students and programs far into the future. It may also
provide significant estate and tax benefits for you and your
family.
The 1858 Founders Society recognizes the special people who
create their own legacy by providing for WSU in their estate
plans. They’ve found that there are as many ways to make a
planned gift as there are needs to be met.
Look inside for the 2011-12 Donor Honor Roll and the 1858
Founders Society members who have chosen to give through
their estates. Notify us of your plans for Winona State, or find
out more about including the university in your estate.
