Launching Dreams, and Reflecting on Their Own
Four alums talk about what they are setting in motion and propelling forward through their gifts to the Albion College Fund and Briton Scholarship Fund.
It’s a challenge to do great things. It’s the catalyst to prepare our students for success. It’s inspiration for all to make a difference.
The impact of every gift is clear for those students who benefit. However, their power reaches far beyond that. Gifts to Albion College make an impact on both students and those who give. You can feel it on our campus—among the classrooms, labs, playing fields and beyond. Through the annual luncheon celebrating Stockwell Society members and endowed scholarship donors, you can see it. In the stories below, you can read about the significant role these generous gifts play in the Albion College story.

A Professor's Heartfelt Legacy
”We never talked about making a gift,” Sarah Steinhauer says. “But as soon as [Larry] died, I had this very strong sense that I wanted to do something for the College.
