Merage School Fund
Welcome to The Merage School Fund page (formerly The Merage Annual Fund.) We are pleased to announce our new campaign focused on “Stepping up business education.” Our goal is to further engage our dedicated alumni, faculty, staff, and community members that generously support our vision to stay competitive and on the cutting edge of other b-schools.
The Paul Merage School of Business is now ranked #36 among America's top business schools by U.S. News & World Report.
For alumni of the Merage School, this means:
- Your business degree is highly respected and will continue to increase in value throughout your career
- Merage School alumni are a valuable commodity (91.7% placed within 3 months of graduation — 2009)
- We are a top producer of MBA talent here in Southern California and beyond (350 new MBAs just graduated)
Each year the Merage School has conducted a calling campaign to solicit your support. This year we chose to forgo this campaign and instead ask that you make an on-line gift of any size today to The Merage School Fund or make a pledge and pay later or make payments towards your pledge by filling out the Merage School Fund Pledge form.
The Merage School Fund allows the School to maintain its financial strength and flexibility year to year. A gift of any size will make a difference and strategically impact everyone at the Merage School, for example:
- Enhancing our highly personalized learning environment in order to keep us on the cutting edge (remember, alumni are invited to come back and audit)
- Continued building enhancements and classroom technology upgrades
- Services for all MBA students such as computing support and career advisement
- Discounts to attend the Distinguished Speaker Series and Exec Ed programs
And, by contributing today, you will also provide bargaining power the Merage School needs to continue to attract top students -- and not let other b-schools lure them away. A tax-deductible gift of any size will help make a difference.
Thank you for your support and helping to step up business education through The Merage School Fund.
