The impact of your gift

Your support of our business students is vital to their success and the School’s future. Areas in need include:

• Launching New Center for Student Success: We are converting the entire seventh floor of Rockwell Hall into a new Center for Student Success (CSS). This will be an important driving force in helping us recruit, develop, transform and place our students so they can have maximum impact in business and the world. Our new CSS will be an important driving force in transforming students into ethical business professionals who make a difference. In short, the CSS will be the ‘beating heart’ of our School, a welcoming place focused holistically on all of our students’ needs.
• Naming gifts are available for all Centers of Excellence: Professional Selling, Entrepreneurship, Supply Chain Management, Investment Strategy and Sustainable Business Innovation.
• Compelling undergraduate and graduate programs.
• Supporting innovative faculty research.
