Honor Roll of Donors

Prizner

Together, we can achieve more.

This simple statement is what motivates me to connect with you-our alumni and friends-to get to know you and hear your stories. We can each give something. And taken together, our gifts have a greater impact than any one of us is likely to make individually.

Paul

When you make a gift to the School of Management, you invest in the futures of our students and the continued success of a business school that has a strong reputation for academic excellence, real-world learning and forward-thinking programs. Because of you, we can offer the best possible education with a world-class faculty. And the scholarships and fellowships you support put that education within reach of deserving students.

Johnson

Over the past year, we have assembled a group of professionals on the school's development team to propel this vision forward. Tim Paul joined our staff in January 2012 as assistant development officer with a primary focus on developing relationships with alumni along the East Coast. Amy Johnson is our new associate director of development, growing the annual fund and Shareholders' Society, and Barbara Mielcarek joined our team as administrative assistant. I am also happy to announce Beth Ranney has been promoted to development coordinator, focusing on stewardship initiatives.

Ranney

There are many opportunities to connect with your alma mater that will impact the lives of today's students. You can offer internships or workplace tours, lend your talents back on campus or take the call when a student contacts you. Every gift of time, talent and treasure truly does count-and it is a powerful truth that together, we can achieve more.
