The Magazine for Alumni and Friends of the UB School of Management

Honor Roll of Donors

Dear Friends,

The School of Management recently celebrated two outstanding groups of individuals: our Shareholders Society and our Dean's Advisory Council. While both groups are distinct in their own right, they have something important in common: their exceptional loyalty and dedication to the success of the School of Management.

Last fall, our Shareholders were recognized at an appreciation reception for their investment in the school and its students. These alumni, parents and friends support the school's strategic initiatives through their generous leadership gifts, which help provide exceptional learning opportunities and enable us to recruit and retain top-notch faculty and students.

The Dean's Advisory Council was also recognized last fall with the unveiling of a new display in the Alfiero Center. You can read the full story of this tribute in Stepping Up.

Every gift to the School of Management counts and each of you makes a difference. Gifts made today have a lasting impact on the students, faculty and academic programs of tomorrow. As we continue to build a culture of philanthropy within the School of Management, it is important to develop and strengthen long-term relationships with all of our alumni and friends. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you. Please feel free to contact me at 716-645-3303 or johnpriz@buffalo.edu.

Sincerely,

John S. Prizner III

Assistant Dean and Director of Development

Your Gifts at Work

Thanks to a generous bequest from Anita Ranney Thomas, BS '38, the School of Management was able to purchase a Bloomberg Terminal—one of the most heavily used and highly regarded professional investment systems in the financial marketplace. It allows investors to access the Bloomberg data service for real-time financial data, news feeds and messages, and facilitates the placement of trades.

The system will serve as an invaluable educational tool for School of Management finance students and further enhance the real-world experience for members of the Terese Kelly Investment Group.
