Why Become a Member of Town & Gown?

What is the first thing you think of when I say Redlands?

You might think the University, Esri, our bustling local businesses and restaurants, or you might imagine the town sitting around a night at the Bowl. No matter what your first thought is, it usually connects to a sense of community. There is only one organization that connects all of these aspects of our community spirit and that is Town & Gown. 

As a member of Town & Gown, we take pride in bridging the University with the larger community but are also proud to say that our efforts provide critical scholarships to local students. Your membership includes all members of your household, is tax deductible, and includes amazing benefits. 

In addition to your membership, gifts made to the T&G Scholarship Endowment increase our ability to provide scholarships for many years to come. 

We are thankful for your support and can't wait to see you at one of our events this year!

History of Town & Gown

In 1982, members of the University community joined with citizens from the Inland Empire to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the University of Redlands.  

Out of that celebration, Town & Gown was formed.  The organization is comprised of members from both town and gown, blazing a new trail of education and service to further integrate the life of the University with the surrounding community. Now four decades later, the University of Redlands Town & Gown continues its mission:

To promote a positive, mutually supportive relationship between the Inland Empire area (the "Town") and the University (the "Gown"). 

To provide scholarships to qualified area students.

To showcase cultural, athletic, academic and entertainment activities on campus.
