Carillon Society
The Carillon Society was established in 2009 to honor donors who have contributed $100,000 or more in outright gifts, pledges and irrevocable trusts to Cal State Long Beach. Such gifts enrich programs and services that advance the university.
The Beach’s carillon, the Carlson Bloc Tower, rises proudly on the southeast corner of the university’s student union. The 68-foot bell tower is named after Louise Carlson, a benefactor of the university, and was designed by French sculptor Andre Bloc. Its bells rang for the first time at the 1972 commencement ceremonies.
The Carillon Award is reserved for those who have made transformational gifts of $1 million or more.
