Greg '83 and Mira Zimmerman

“ A lot of people don’t realize that estate giving is a great opportunity. They need to know that the college can leverage a gift like this right away, so it helps with other grants and fundraising … That the money can help Dickinson and leave a legacy is very important to my wife and me.” —Greg Zimmerman ’83


Majored in history and sees his broad liberal-arts education as the secret to his success. Earned his J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania after graduating from Dickinson. Left a job at a large law firm to enter the world of commercial real estate. Used the leadership and critical-thinking skills he sharpened at Dickinson to become senior vice president at Simon Property Group. After supporting Dickinson as a donor and volunteer over the last three decades, recently joined the Old West Society with an estate gift for an endowed faculty chair in the history department.
