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

Honor Roll

It's all about the students.

They're our motivation to persevere, strategize and travel throughout the country to visit with alumni and friends of the School of Management. Rarely a day goes by that we don't hear how a student's life has been changed or transformed by generous financial support. Some receive the opportunity to attend a conference or competition, made possible by a gift to the annual fund to support student initiatives. Others receive a scholarship that allows them to attend UB.

Simply put, your gift can be a real game-changer for a School of Management student. Just ask alumnus Frank Clement, BS '66, and his wife, Marilyn. The West Coast couple has always valued the idea of providing a top-notch community environment for School of Management students. Their first leadership gift to the school created the Clement Café, now home of the ever-popular Tim Hortons in the school's Alfiero Center. Recently, they generously provided a $500,000 lead gift to create the Undergraduate Learning and Community Center, a space dedicated to enhancing our students' learning experience. Their named space will be the Frank and Marilyn Clement Student Lounge and Group Study Area.

On this page you'll see the names of many other alumni and friends who are doing their part to support our students. We are deeply grateful for your commitment and generosity and, on behalf of our 3,766 School of Management students, we thank you.

This list recognizes annual giving from July 1, 2013, to June 30, 2014, and lifetime giving as of June 30, 2014. Recognizing our donors is of the highest priority. We have made every effort to ensure the accuracy of our honor roll, but it is possible for errors to occur.
