MEDALLION SOCIETY In 2012, the WSU Foundation established the Medallion Society as a tribute to honor our generous benefactors who make the University’s mission possible each and every day. The society was named in recognition of the President’s Medallion, which was given as a gift to the University in 1968 from WSU students in honor of President DuFresne’s inauguration. The gems within the medallion, donated by Winona community members, represent the people’s faith in education, a responsibility for the University’s mission, and guardianship on behalf of the State of Minnesota and future generations to come. The various giving levels of the Medallion Society, ranging from $25,000 to $10 million, are aligned with the different gems found in the medallion itself. A display recognizing members in the society is located outside the entrance to Harriet Johnson Auditorium in Somsen Hall on the WSU campus.
