Grand Patron
The apex of the Society's patronage structure, reserved to members whose strategic support contributes decisively to the institution's continuity and reach. Their support receives special recognition in the Society's records and ceremonies.
The Academic Patronage Circle recognizes additional support from individuals who already belong to the Academic Body. These distinctions do not change the academic category or the chair held.

Active members of the Academic Body who wish to expand their institutional support without replacing their academic membership, chair, or patron.
