The Clock Tower Society
Enrollment Form
The Clock Tower Society is an honorary society of donors who have made Western a beneficiary of their estate and financial planning. Membership is extended by the Board of Directors of the Missouri Western State University Foundation as an expression of appreciation. The Clock Tower stands as the centerpiece of Western’s beautiful campus. It acknowledges the time that has passed since the University’s humble beginning in 1915 and has become a symbol of Western’s history of progress. The sounding of its chimes proudly marks the University’s commitment to service and excellence at the present time. As each second, minute and hour passes, Western will achieve new benchmarks of growth and standards of excellence. Thus, the Board of Directors finds it appropriate to name this special group of benefactors the Clock Tower Society.
