Creating a Legacy
Creating a Legacy can be so grand as supporting construction of a building,
establishing an academic chair, forming a scholarship fund, or becoming part of the
Legacy Society by placing La Sierra University in your estate plan. “Myriad” is surely
the best word to describe the possibilities that exist for creating a La Sierra University
legacy. Diversity of purpose, imagination, preserving something valuable—multiply
the possibilities by the number of students, alumni and staff, and creating a legacy
has no limits! What will your legacy be?
