Magellan Circle

The College of Social and Behavioral Sciences has created the Magellan Circle, a society for donors who contribute $1,000 a year or more to the College of Social and Behavioral Sciences. The money raised in the Magellan Circle supports the Dean's Fund for Excellence, which in turn provides for student travel, visiting scholars, faculty research and excellence-in-teaching awards. An additional $500 sponsors a student scholarship.

Named for Ferdinand Magellan, the Portuguese explorer who led the first successful circumnavigation of the globe, the Circle offers the chance for you to help us in discovering the world--the physical, the cognitive and the social--through the academics of Social and Behavioral Sciences' 23 departments and research centers. You can read more about Ferdinand Magellan in the 2003 issue of SBS Developments:
