The Heritage Society

Estate gifts are among the highest tributes that alumni and friends can pay to organizations. The University of New England is grateful to be included in the personal legacies of its committed supporters.

The Heritage Society was created to honor and celebrate alumni and friends of the University (Westbrook Junior College, Westbrook College, St. Francis College, and UNECOM) whose documented estate gifts support UNE's mission - to prepare students to thrive in a rapidly-changing world and, in so doing, to improve the health of people, communities, and our planet.

If you are interested in establishing a planned gift and being recognized as a member of The Heritage Society, please contact us today. You can also fill out the secure Heritage Society Confidential Membership Information Form below. Thank you!

Heritage Society Luncheon
President James Herbert honored a number of enthusiastic Heritage Society members and guests at an inaugural recognition luncheon at the Cumberland Club in Portland. President Herbert and his wife, Dr. Lynn Brandsma, also presented attendees with a specially designed Heritage Society lapel pin.

Over 200 alumni and friends have remembered the University and created a personal legacy by establishing an estate or planned gift. Currently, 75+ living individuals and couples are members of the UNE Heritage Society. Members receive invitations and special recognition at select UNE events, members-only University updates from President Herbert, and a distinctive Heritage Society lapel pin.
