Having highly trained teachers early in life proved critical to my success, and my hope is that my gift will allow Fresno State to continue to educate qualified teachers of the Deaf now and forever. This is my lasting legacy as well as that of my parents. ~Joe Slotnick

The Heritage Society

The generosity of Heritage Society members supports Fresno State in creating the next generation of Valley leaders.

Heritage Banner

The Heritage Society honors alumni and friends who have included Fresno State in their last will & testament or have made some other type of planned gift to the University. Membership is automatically conferred upon notification that you have arranged to make a gift to the University from your estate.

Heritage Society members are invited to an annual luncheon where they are recognized for their planned gift. Attendees enjoy a special update from the University President, who will highlight exciting developments and initiatives happening across campus. Members also have the opportunity to meet and hear from Fresno State students whose lives have been directly impacted by the generosity of past estate gifts.
