GIVE TO THE ANNUAL FUND
The Annual Fund supports excellence. It enables the Dean of the
School of Business to meet the greatest needs and act when opportunities
arise. Annual Fund gifts help the School continue to improve and
to grow as a source of pride for alumni and the community.
Each year thousands of School of Business alumni and friends give
to the Annual Fund. Please consider joining them.
ANNUAL FUND ALLOCATION
Contributions to the Annual Fund have benefited students in many
worthwhile areas of the School. In recent years, the fund has been
used in part for the following:
Technology and upgrades for classrooms
Student scholarships
Classroom renovations
The importance of private support increases every year. The School
of Business depends upon donations from alumni, friends, and
companies
to help it keep pace with the new, rapidly-changing international
economy.
MEMBERSHIP IN THE INVESTORS' CIRCLE
The Investors' Circle was established in 1996 to recognize Annual
Fund donors who contribute generously to support the educational
mission of the School. Four levels of membership range from $500
to $5000+. In recognition of Investors' Circle donors, the Dean
hosts receptions throughout the year to personally thank donors
for their support and keep them abreast of the School's progress.
In the 2002-2003 academic year, Investors' Circle contributions
accounted for 70% of all contributions to the Annual Fund, a fact
that exemplifies the importance of the Investors' Circle to the
School of Business.
