D.B. Johnson Society | Winthrop University Foundation

D.B. Johnson Society

D.B. Johnson, Winthrop’s founding president, had a vision. With a gift from Robert Winthrop of the Peabody Foundation, Dr. Johnson created what is today one of South Carolina’s top-performing public universities. 

The D.B. Johnson Society consists of a loyal group of individuals who have included Winthrop University in their estate plans. Like Robert Winthrop, members of the D.B. Johnson Society know that the plans they make today will provide perpetual support to Winthrop University and its mission.
