Res Publica Society and President’s Society
Claremont McKenna's Res Publica Society and President's Society are comprised of members of our community who demonstrate the highest levels of leadership and support to the College through outstanding philanthropic generosity. Leadership donors show an enduring commitment to our mission of educating students for thoughtful and productive lives and responsible leadership in business, government, and the professions.
Your Donation at Work
Res Publica and President's Society support creates transformational experiences for students and faculty at CMC by contributing more than 85% of the Annual Fund dollars raised each year. This generous support is immediately invested throughout campus in areas such as:
- Financial aid, ensuring CMC's ability to continue meeting 100% of the demonstrated financial need of incoming first-year students
- Internships and experiential learning, providing resources for students to participate in real-world office settings and the opportunity to research side-by-side with faculty members
- Athenaeum speakers, featuring experts on ethical leadership, human rights activism, social media entrepreneurship, and countless other topics
- Roberts Pavilion, hosting athletic competitions, large speaker events, and career fairs
