Honoring a Legacy of Generosity And Impact

The Lyman Beecher Brooks Society stands as one of Norfolk State University’s highest tributes, reserved for individuals whose cumulative giving has reached $100,000 or more. These distinguished benefactors embody a legacy of generosity, vision, and steadfast commitment to advancing the University’s mission. As lifetime champions of Norfolk State, their philanthropy fuels scholarships, innovation, and transformative opportunities for students. Tonight, at the President’s Gala, we celebrate not only their remarkable contributions but also the enduring impact they have on shaping the future of NSU for generations to come.
