More than one hundred alumni and friends gathered on March 23rd at the Fairmont Hotel in Washington, D.C., for the Luther Rice Society reception. The society honors donors who make annual gifts of $1,000 or more to GW. President Stephen Joel Trachtenberg warmly thanked the guests, noting the significant role that alumni support plays in the future of all institutions of higher education.

Among those present at the reception were Mary Miller, MBA ’78, who has made a gift to GW’s annual fund for each of the past 25 years, Oscar Dodek, MD ’56, JD ’88, who supports the annual funds of both the School of Medicine and the Law School, and William Oakley, MS ’71, who recently established a scholarship fund at the School of Engineering and Applied Science.
