John R. Kirk Society
Recognition of Significant Annual Gifts
The
John R. Kirk Society honors and recognizes some of the University's most
generous contributors. As the fifth president of the University, John R.

education excellence. Members of the Kirk Society perpetuate his
commitment to education through their efforts to advance Truman State
University. Established in 1981, the Kirk Society represents a welcoming
and growing group of loyal and committed alumni and friends whose
generous annual gifts continue to propel Truman and its increasing
prestige in higher education.
