Landon Legacy Society

Overview

The Linda E. Landon Society, named for the beloved MSU librarian and first female instructor on campus, recognizes and honors individuals and families who, through their estate plans, have established a planned gift of any size benefiting Michigan State University.

These future gifts can take many forms, such as a bequest through a will or personal trust or one of several charitable life-income plans.

For more information on the Landon Society, please call University Development at (517) 884-1000 and ask to speak to a planned giving officer.
