Introducing the 1923 Legacy Society: Securing McMurry’s Future Together
Alumni Association

At the Pillars of Philanthropy: Night of Gratitude dinner on April 25, 2025, McMurry University proudly introduced the 1923 Legacy Society, a new giving society honoring those who value higher education and choose to make sustaining McMurry University a lasting part of their legacy. This distinguished society recognizes donors who include McMurry in their estate plans, ensuring exceptional educational opportunities for generations of McMurry students.

By including McMurry in a will, trust, retirement account, or other planned gift, members of the 1923 Legacy Society play a vital role in sustaining the university’s mission of academic excellence, spiritual growth, and service. Their thoughtful commitment will shape the future of McMurry for decades to come.

“Legacy giving is a meaningful way to uphold one’s values while supporting McMurry University’s enduring mission,” said Dr. Lynne Murray, McMurry University President. “We are profoundly grateful to those who have chosen to leave a lasting legacy through the 1923 Legacy Society. These future gifts drive McMurry’s ongoing growth and success and provide essential support for students who will carry our mission forward.”
