Gordon Stars is a bright and bold community of alumni who have each committed $5,000 or more to this year's Gordon Fund. This initiative was launched by Isaiah Osofisan '00, a dedicated alum serving on the Board of Trustees.

Alumni are the fastest growing segment of Gordon's donor base. Since 2019, they have tripled their support of the Gordon Fund, providing essential resources that fuel the mission-driven work happening at Gordon every day.
Gordon Stars will serve as a guiding light for philanthropic giving at Gordon, a community of graduates who recognize the longstanding impact of the Gordon experience and are moved to continue playing a role in Gordon's future.
As a young person The Gordon School offered a nurturing, challenging, and authentic educational experience and is a foundational part of who I am today. Returning to campus and becoming involved in the community as an alum has been a rewarding experience and it is heartening to see how the school has evolved yet always remained true to its altruistic roots and mission. We know that Gordon is a special place and giving back now is the best way to ensure that the lives of current and future students are enriched for generations to come.
