Established with a $3.6 million gift from the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation and the Mandel Supporting Foundations, the Mandel Honors College is the academic home of more than 500 students in the University Honors and University Scholars programs.
This generous gift funds merit scholarships and the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Chair in Humanities, an endowed position held by Elizabeth Lehfeldt, inaugural dean of the Mandel Honors College. It also funded interior and exterior renovations of the Main Classroom building which houses the Mandel College.
