Our premier annual giving program

What is the Chancellor's Circle?

Traditional resources available within a state university do not allow it to operate with the flexibility and dexterity that today’s competitive economy requires. Chancellor’s Circle Members equip the A-State Chancellor with financial and intellectual resources, enabling the Chancellor to look beyond tradition and lead us into the future.

Who is the Chancellor’s Circle?

The Chancellor’s Circle is made up of industry and community leaders and A-State supporters from across the nation dedicated to advancing the mission of Arkansas State University to educate, enhance, and enrich.
