Building Your Legacy
Last spring, we introduced EverGreen, an inside look at the transformative impact of your philanthropy at CSU, designed exclusively for members of our stalwart donor communities. In the year since, we’ve been delighted by your response to the stories of lives changed and communities transformed because of your generosity.
The latest edition of EverGreen spotlights the visionary and enduring effect of donor generosity in various forms, including those whose legacy lives on through planned gifts. Jack Curfman (’49) was not only a beloved faculty member, mentor, and designer during a career that spanned more than 50 years at CSU, he was also a close friend for decades. Alongside inspirational stories of lasting impact, we’re proud to highlight Jack’s generous spirit and the difference he continues to make in the lives of our students.
Thank you creating your own legacy through your gifts to CSU and Go Rams!
