Merage “MBA to MBA” Spring Alumni Fund Update

Did you have the good fortune of receiving a phone call from a current MBA student during the month of May? If so, we hope you enjoyed the opportunity to get an update on your B-School and learn more about the premier support group, the Dean’s Leadership Circle, and the Merage Alumni Fund. Our MBA students were thrilled to speak with alumni and enjoyed hearing stories about past experiences as students.

Thanks to an unprecedented outpouring of support by Merage alumni, the “MBA to MBA” Spring Alumni Fund Campaign has laid a foundation for future success. Through our phone campaign efforts, we are proud to announce six new Dean’s Leadership Circle members and forty-eight contributions to the Alumni Fund. All of these contributions will help Dean Andy Policano to:

  • Fund fellowships for the best graduate students
  • Recruit highly recognized faculty members
  • Enhance and upgrade our facilities such as our newly renovated classrooms

For those of you that would still like to show your support to the Merage School during our fiscal year, it is not too late! We encourage matching gifts, and all contributions are tax deductible. There are two options available to you:

A. Become a member of the Dean’s Leadership Circle (prior to June 30) and your name will be recognized inside one of our Executive Classrooms to be named the “Dean’s Leadership Circle Classroom.” As a new member, you would be invited to a formal reception and dedication of the Classroom, in addition to all exclusive member events. ($1500 annual commitment that can be paid by credit card in quarterly, bi-annual, or annual payments.)

B. Help make a difference by supporting the Merage Alumni Fund. You will be instrumental in helping to generate much needed discretionary funds. It is not how much you give, but your participation that counts.
($100 - $1,499 commitment.)
