With Appreciation
George Washington University
Leadership Donors
The growth and success of The George Washington University reflects the vital,
forward-thinking spirit of this institution’s namesake, the nation’s first president.
Today, GW offers comprehensive programs of liberal arts study, as well as degree
programs in medicine, public health, law, engineering, education, business, and
international affairs. It boasts a diverse population of undergraduate, graduate, and
professional students from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and more than
130 countries.
The dedicated support of alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations is an
important part of the GW tradition and, in no small measure, integral to its
continued progress. Our donor recognition societies honor those who make
possible the teaching, research, and learning opportunities that distinguish this
great University.
This year, the University is pleased to kick off the First Annual President’s Ball by
welcoming 61 new members to its premier giving societies, which are the L’Enfant
Society, 1821 Benefactors, George Washington Society, and Tempietto Circle of the
Heritage Society. We extend our sincere appreciation to these leadership donors
and to all of our loyal benefactors. This booklet is a tribute to their remarkable
level of support and service to the University, and we are honored to share their
inspiring stories.

The John Templeton Foundation seeks to serve as a philanthropic catalyst for
scientific discovery on what scientists and philosophers call the “big questions.” Ranging
from questions about the laws of nature to the nature of creativity and consciousness,
the Foundation’s philanthropic vision is derived from founder Sir John Templeton’s
resolute belief that rigorous research and cutting-edge scholarship is at the very heart
of new discoveries and human progress. The Foundation makes awards in a variety
of areas, including grants to stimulate the development of medical school courses on
religion and spirituality.
The John Templeton Foundation has provided key funding for medical education
that integrates religion and spirituality in holistic, compassionate care. Specifically, the
Foundation has supported the GW Institute for Spirituality and Health, a leading organization on education and clinical issues related to spirituality and health.
MICHAEL W. THACHER, BA ’70
George Washington Society
Michael Thacher, a strong believer in second chances, came to GW on academic probation. He credits his first philosophy class with Professor William Griffith for steering
him toward success. Although he planned to pursue a PhD and teach, he embarked on
a career managing public relations for Unocal Corporation. Surprisingly, he found that
his training in philosophy was quite useful as he articulated the business philosophies
of the CEOs he served. Mr. Thacher and his wife, Rhonda L. Rundle, have two sons,
Bret and Ryan. Ms. Rundle is a news editor and reporter for The Wall Street Journal.
Mr. Thacher created the Thacher Fund for Philosophy to bring in speakers, support
student research, and expand the Department of Philosophy. “Studying philosophy
had a profound impact on my life, and I hope that these additional resources will
enhance the department’s opportunities to impact other lives.”
