The President’s Circle
“Our President’s Circle members represent the pinnacle of support for Benedictine College.”
— Stephen D. Minnis, President
The President’s Circle is comprised of generous and influential leaders that are essential for advancing the college’s mission forward under the President’s guidance. The President’s Circle is a necessity to ensure we can transform culture in America and support students to be the next best leaders in our great nation.
For two decades Stephen D. Minnis ’82 has been the President of Benedictine College and in that time Benedictine College has seen tremendous growth and incredible progress. A large part of this growth is attributed to the generosity of a specific group of alums and friends of the college. This incredible group of individuals joins President Minnis in the President’s Circle.
Thank you to our current, past, and future President’s Circle members for ensuing Benedictine College can continue Forward, Always Forward.
