The Benefit of Telling Us About Your Gift Intentions: We can ensure that your wishes are followed.

The wisteria-covered pergola stands at the heart of Hood's campus, where all paths meet. The Pergola is a place of reflection, celebration, and belonging. Whether hurrying through to class or lingering longer in conversation, it has been witness to many first meetings and final farewells, traditions honored and memories made. And through it all, the Pergola remains.
