When we launched Name My Door, the idea was simple: give our alumni a way to leave a lasting, personal mark on the College that shaped them. A door isn't just a door; it's a threshold thousands of residents have walked through, the entrance to friendships, late-night conversations, and the everyday moments that make up the Burgmann experience.
That idea clearly struck a chord. Over 50 doors have now been named, including twenty new additions during our 55 Set to Thrive tax-time appeal.
For a gift of $555 (usually $585), your name and years of residency are engraved on a brass plaque, joining names spanning the decades across Barassi, Homer and The Village. The project provides ongoing support for the Principal's Priorities Fund, helping to fund resident programs, pastoral care, and communal spaces for generations to come.
You can view the full leaderboard and supporter list here.
Our goal is to reach 100 named doors this year, and we know there's a whole community of Burgmann alumni out there who haven't yet heard about this opportunity — or perhaps need a nudge from a friend.
Could you help us grow the Name My Door community? If there's a fellow alum you'd be happy to tell about Name My Door, please do! Thank you for helping us keep this legacy growing, one door at a time.
