John Early Society
Members of the John Early Society—our annual leadership giving society—enjoy a special relationship with Loyola University Maryland. The John Early Society recognizes our alumni, parents, and friends who show their support with gifts of $1,852 or more during the University's fiscal year (June 1 through May 31).
