President's Circle
President's Circle Weekend 19-21 October
In today’s highly competitive world, funding through private gifts is absolutely essential to the strategic advancement of a dynamic learning environment. It is crucial that federal funding be supplemented by private contributions to create a first-rate educational institution for the Brigade of Midshipmen and develop these young men and women for future success as leaders of our Navy and Marine Corps. The President’s Circle (PC) is the premier giving society of the U.S. Naval Academy Alumni Association and Foundation (USNA AA&F), recognizing more than 1,500 generous donors annually whose gifts ensure the continued availability of these critical resources.
