da Vinci Society
兔子先生鈥檚 College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics established the da Vinci Society in 2018 to honor donors for their extraordinary philanthropic support of the College. The Society recognizes individuals with a cumulative lifetime giving level of $100,000 or more, or who have included NSM in their estate plans at a minimum of $100,000.
The Society is named for Leonardo da Vinci, an interdisciplinary genius and possibly the greatest inventor of all time. Each donor inducted into the da Vinci Society has played a transformative role in the development of NSM 鈥 just as da Vinci did for modern art and science.
Red Jacket Distinction
In 2020, the UH College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics established the Red Jacket Distinction (marked with * below) to honor daVinci Society donors who have a cumulative lifetime giving of $1 million or more to the College. Each donor has the option to receive a commemorative red blazer that they can proudly wear to UH events.
